Grand Terrace, Cal., Code of Ordinances ch. 5.80 § 5.80.010
The purpose of this Chapter is to identify substandard non-owner occupied/rental property and to ensure rehabilitation or elimination of non-owner occupied/rental properties that do not meet minimum building and housing code standards, exterior maintenance standards or are not safe to occupy.
It is the intention of the City Council to establish a program whereby the exteriors of non-owner occupied/rental housing units can be inspected on a regular basis and certified as meeting minimum standards. The City endeavors to target its efforts to properties where violations exist and are a habitual condition of the property without unduly burdening responsible and prudent property owners.

Under Grand Terrace Code of Ordinances ch. 5.80 § 5.80.010, the city has established a framework for regularly inspecting the exteriors of rental properties and certifying compliance with minimum standards. Operators who consistently maintain their properties in accordance with building and housing codes are generally the type of owners the program is designed not to burden.
