Need to decide what to inspect Annual inspections or inspections every 2 years Land owner pay for the inspections Start in 2026 or 2027? Ifthe city started in 2027, we could update landlords of the coming changes so they can make any changes before inspections start Elizabeth We have two rental options we can offer. ye 1 (Proposal Attached) SAFEbuilt manages to program. We apply the list the municipality provides and Schedules the regularly needed inspections on the schedule the municipality decides. Option 2 The city manages the program and provides SAFEbuilt a list of needed inspections and SAFEbuilt completes the inspections. Option 1 is at no cost to the city. We work with the city to establish a fee schedule and registration requirements, and we provide the city a split of the fees collected Option 2 is done at a per hourly rate for the inspections required. | would love to set up a call to discuss these options further.
