Property Owner Information
How Safe & Healthy Homes Program will work:
Property owners and managers enroll in this voluntary incentive program. Owners register their properties and request initial meeting. THD will conduct a courtesy inspection and explain the program. The voluntary inspections will be based off of Title 55 Property Maintenance Code: "to ensure public health, safety and welfare as they are affected by the continued occupancy and maintenance of structures and premises, to provide a level of health and safety."
Once the inspection has been completed and passed, owner can advertise and display sticker showing they are enrolled in the THD Safe & Healthy Homes program. In addition to the incentives, THD asks that the property owner or a representative attends a housing educational class, example Housing 101. THD will help educate tenants with reasonable expectations when renting. Together, we can create healthier neighborhoods and safe housing.
