Under Hesperia Code of Ordinances ch. 5.72 § 5.72.130, compliant rental property operators maintain their properties in a condition that avoids triggering city-initiated interior inspections by addressing health, safety, and maintenance concerns proactively. When the city does schedule an inspection, operators or their authorized agents make themselves available to accompany inspectors throughout the process and ensure the city has full, unobstructed access to all relevant areas. Operators also track any formal violation reports received during inspections and arrange for timely correction of cited issues, covering all associated permit and abatement costs out of their own resources.

Tenants who believe their unit or building has serious health or safety problems may consider contacting the City of Hesperia to report concerns that could prompt a review under this provision.
