Council and legal authority are likely required for pattern-based enforcement; due process protections apply.
The problem
One complaint rarely changes a bad landlord's behavior — but a pattern of them should. Right now, enforcement treats every complaint as an isolated incident, and repeat offenders slip through.
The plan
The city will use rental data to identify pattern offenders — owners with repeated violations across properties — and concentrate enforcement where the harm is greatest.
Fair notice and due process are built in: landlords see the data against them and get a clear path to compliance before penalties escalate.
How you’ll know it’s working
- Pattern offenders identified and resolved
- Median time from pattern detection to correction
- Repeat-violation rate among cited owners
- Renter-reported living conditions
- Due process compliance verified
From the Blueprint
- Repeat-actor scoring flags: valid code cases per unit over 12 months, overdue cases, eviction filings within 60 days of a complaint.
- Ladder: written warning with 14-day re-inspection, then re-inspection with fines, then City Legal civil remedies.
- Final step: named publication on a quarterly enforcement report listing violation count and outcome.
- A 90-day enforcement sprint runs an inspection blitz against the worst-scored violators, budget-neutral via fine revenue.
- Days 0–120: design the model, write SOPs, train teams. Months 4–12: full deployment.
The worst actors get the most attention, publicly.
