Inspections
Operative Text
A. Owners shall allow the city to conduct an inspection of their residential rental properties for compliance with all applicable codes and the city's housing and property maintenance standards. The director, in his or her discretion, may include inspections by other city departments including, but not limited to, fire, building and safety, code enforcement or public health. B. Upon completion of the inspection, if no violations are identified, the director shall proceed with the issuance of a rental housing business license. If one or more violations are identified, then the director shall issue a notice of correction to the owner describing the violation and setting forth a time within which such violations shall be corrected. The owner shall pay a re-inspection fee in an amount established by resolution of the city council for each re-inspection following the issuance of notice of correction.
Hesperia Code of Ordinances ch. 5.72 § 5.72.120 establishes a city inspection process for residential rental properties to verify compliance with applicable codes and housing maintenance standards. If an inspection finds no violations, the city director proceeds with issuing a rental housing business license. When violations are found, the director issues a written notice of correction specifying what must be fixed and the timeframe for doing so, and the property owner is required to pay a re-inspection fee set by city council resolution for each follow-up inspection.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Hesperia Code of Ordinances ch. 5.72 § 5.72.120, compliant rental property operators generally maintain their properties in accordance with all applicable codes and housing maintenance standards so that city inspections proceed without findings. Operators who receive a notice of correction typically address each identified violation within the stated timeframe and budget for re-inspection fees, which are set by city council resolution, for any follow-up visits required after the initial notice. The director retains discretion to involve other city departments—such as fire, building and safety, code enforcement, or public health—during the inspection process.

Hesperia Code of Ordinances ch. 5.72 § 5.72.120 gives the city authority to inspect residential rental properties and issue notices of correction when violations of housing or property maintenance standards are found. Tenants living in properties subject to this process may have an interest in whether their landlord has received a notice of correction or holds a current rental housing business license, as these records can reflect the property's compliance status. Tenants who believe their unit has unaddressed code or maintenance issues may consider contacting the city's relevant department, consulting a local tenant-rights organization, or exploring whether a documented violation is relevant to any existing dispute.
