Housing Inspection Ordinance Amendment

At a glance

• What: An amendment to the Housing Inspection Required ordinance, BCO Chapter 18, Article II, Division 1, Section 16 (Department of Permitting and Inspections and the Ordinance Committee).
• Status: Adopted on second reading, unanimously, on May 18, 2026.
• Next: In effect on adoption; the minutes do not state the substantive change.

Detail

On May 11 the ordinance came on the consent agenda for first reading, with the rules suspended so it would skip referral back to the Ordinance Committee and be set for second reading on May 18. On May 18, Assistant City Attorney Sturtevant and the Permitting and Inspections director were online. Bergman moved and Broderick seconded to waive the second reading and adopt the ordinance; the minutes text ends "Motion passed unanimo" and is read as unanimous.
