What Tomasovic was asking neighborhood members of ANC to support, and
what I think we should discuss and consider, is an initiative that
mirrors the policies already in place in Ft. Worth. There, every
landlord must register their properties with the city and report how
many tenants they have in each of their properties on an annual basis.
The city then has a right to visit the properties (I believe he said
every two years) and inspect them for code violations including
occupancy limits, safety, and nuisances.
According to Tomasovic, this Ft. Worth policy immediately took care of
the slum-lord problem, and if we adopted it here in Austin, it would
also alleviate the over-populated stealth-dorm problem.
It is certainly worth considering.
Cheers.
