We'll have equal time as code enforcement to present to the board.

On February 5th, 2016, the City of Santa Rosa Code Enforcement Division received a complaint regarding living conditions at 2371 Corby Avenue Unit 15.

Excuse me.

Yes, sir.

Would you repeat?

Was that 2016?

23, yeah, 2026.

Oh, sorry.

Did I say 16?

I might have.

February 5th, 2026.

Thank you.

I'll restate, I'll just restate.

On February 5th, 2026, the City of Santa Rosa Code Enforcement Division received a complaint regarding living conditions at 2371 Corby Avenue Unit 15.

The complaint was submitted in Spanish and was translated using Google Translate by one of our senior administrative assistants.

The complainant alleged that four living conditions had existed since 2022 and have been reported to the individual responsible for managing the apartment complex.

The complaint described excessive humidity, walls that were black with mold and green micro microbial growth, cockroach infestation, the presence of rats, and a lack of functioning heat.

Additional allegations were included in the complaint.

However, those issues were determined to be a civil matter outside the jurisdiction of code enforcement.

On February 6, 2026, I was assigned to inspect the property in response to the complaint.

Because the occupants were Spanish speaking, code enforcement technician Nancy Reyes Fernandez accompanied me to provide translation services during the inspection.

Based on our inspection and photographs taken at the time, Unit 15 was just was determined.

Sorry, Unit 15 was determined to be substandard and presented an immediate threat to life, health, and safety of the occupants.

As a code of code enforcement officers, our primary responsibility is to protect the public health safety and welfare by ensuring compliance with local ordinances.

The California Health and Safety Code, applicable building codes, and property maintenance standards.

Our duties include conducting inspections, investigating complaints involving unsafe and substandard housing conditions, documenting findings through photographs and inspection reports, and taking appropriate enforcement action when necessary to protect occupants.

The issuance of a notice in order to vacate is one of the most significant enforcement actions available to the city.

Its purpose is to protect the occupants from conditions that present an immediate or substantial threat to life, health, and safety.

Such an order is issued only after an inspection determines that a structure or dwelling unit is unsafe or unfit for human occupancy.

In accordance to California Health and Safety Code 17920.

Unit 15 was declared to be a substandard unit under subsection A6, lack of adequate heating.

So we can get to this.
