ADDITIONAL FEES
Operative Text
The city shall have the right to bill or to assess the responsible party for additional costs associated with: (A) Required additional follow up rental inspections, beyond the prescribed number allowed, for a single rental inspection cycle. (B) Failure of the responsible party to appear for a scheduled inspection without prior notification of the inspector. (C) After hour, weekend or holiday inspections. (Ord. 2018-18, passed 2-28-2018; Ord. 2019-07, passed 6-11-2019)
Dayton Ch. 113 Rental Dwellings § 113.025 establishes that the city may charge responsible parties—typically property owners or managers—additional fees beyond standard inspection costs under certain circumstances. These circumstances include inspections that exceed the number allowed in a single rental inspection cycle, missed scheduled inspections without advance notice to the inspector, and inspections conducted outside normal business hours, such as on weekends or holidays. The provision gives the city a billing mechanism to recover costs tied to these specific situations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 113.025, compliant operators in Dayton generally keep track of how many inspections have occurred within a single rental inspection cycle to avoid triggering fees for excess follow-up visits. Responsible parties also make a point of notifying the inspector in advance if they cannot be present for a scheduled inspection, since a no-show without prior notice can result in an additional charge. Scheduling inspections during standard business hours on weekdays helps avoid the after-hours, weekend, or holiday surcharges authorized by this section.

Section § 113.025 of Dayton's Rental Dwellings code governs how the city assesses additional fees against the responsible party—generally the property owner or manager—not the tenant directly. If a rental property is accumulating repeated inspection cycles or missed inspections, tenants may find it useful to document the inspection history as part of understanding the property's compliance record. Tenant-rights organizations in Dayton can help residents understand how the city's rental inspection program under Ch. 113 relates to habitability standards and what options exist if a property is not being maintained in compliance.
