Code Enforcement! Code Enforcement! Code Enforcement! it should not take 2 years for a landlord to be held accountable for a fire in a non-code rental that killed the tenant! Code enforcement is sorely understaffed. The absentee landlords that don't maintain their properties create blight in Santa Rosa's neighborhoods that brings down property values and affect neighborhood pride. Code Enforcement could and should have the manpower to assess and collect fines for non-compliance. It could generate a lot more revenue to fund its activities and improve residents' quality of life at the same time.
