Instead of waiting for new complaints about the same old properties, the City of San Antonio plans to send code enforcement officers out to proactively look for issues and make the landlords of the troubled properties help foot the bill.
A Department of Development Services spokeswoman said Seven Oaks was ultimately issued 24 citations.Through the P.A.I.P., apartment complexes that receive at least three citations for “designated” violations within a six-month period would be forced to register with the city and get monthly, proactive code enforcement inspections.
In anticipation of some kind of initiative for apartment inspections, the city council already approved two new code enforcement positions for the current budget year. Although properties could still be cited for code violations related to issues like overgrown grass, those citations would not count toward putting them on the “bad actors” list.
Mia Loseff, the South Texas Regional Director of Texas Housers, was part of the stakeholder group that helped develop the program. She believes “both sides gave a little bit” during the discussions and that the resulting proposal strikes a balance.
