Phoenix — Ch. 22 Art. VI Property Maintenance § 22-426.10
Transfers of ownership due to death, divorce, or other court-ordered transfers shall be exempt from the inspection provisions but subject to the remaining requirements of this section. Transfers of village owned property shall be exempt from all requirements of this division.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Section 22-426.10 carves out two categories of property transfers from the standard inspection requirements under Phoenix's property maintenance rules. Ownership changes resulting from death, divorce, or a court order are exempt from the inspection process but must still comply with all other requirements in the section. Transfers of village-owned property are fully exempt from every requirement in the division.

For Property Managers

Under § 22-426.10, operators who acquire property through death, divorce, or a court order do not need to complete the otherwise-required inspection, but all remaining obligations in the section still apply to the property. Compliant operators in these situations typically document the nature of the transfer clearly and confirm which non-inspection requirements remain in effect. Owners of village-owned property transferred under this provision face no obligations under the division at all.

For Tenants

Section 22-426.10 affects tenants living in properties that change hands through death, divorce, or court order, because the new owner is still bound by the non-inspection requirements of the section even though no formal inspection is triggered. Tenants in such properties retain the protections of those remaining requirements and may raise a violation of them as a defense or basis for a complaint if those standards are not met. Tenant-rights organizations in Phoenix can help clarify which specific obligations still apply to a new owner under this provision.
