City of Sacramento Rental Housing Inspections - YEP IT'S FOR REAL!

I wrote a post about the City of Sacramento's Rental Housing Inspection Ordinance back in February of this year.  Since then, I had only heard a few random comments about these inspections from some other agents who own rental property within the city limits.     

Well...last week, my husband (an electrical contractor in Sacramento), got a very panicked telephone call from a woman who owns a rental duplex in Land Park.  She explained that a city inspector had visited her property, and had determined that the main electrical panel was not up to par, there were no GFCI receptacles, there were not enough smoke detectors, there were not enough circuits to accommodate everything, and there were ungrounded 3-pronged receptacles throughout...there were also other non-electrical items.  The inspector issued a correction notice, and these repairs had to be completed by a certain date, or she faced a stiff fine.  YIKES!  

So, my husband spent a week doing the corrective work...the bill for just the electrical was about $5,000 including all labor, materials, permits, and coordination with SMUD and the City of Sacramento. 

Landlords within the Sacramento city limits - THIS ORDINANCE IS VERY REAL!

Bowling for the American Dream at Land Park Lanes!

 

Last night at Land Park Lanes, a few crazy Sacramento Association of Realtors members and affiliates did a bowling tournament fundraiser for the California Association of Realtors Housing Affordability Fund.

I dusted off my bowling ball and shoes (hey -- I grew up in a bowling family alright!?!!), dressed up for our 70's theme, and had an absolute blast! The photo above is the planning committee...if you have a difficult time picking me out of the lineup, I am the one in the middle with the blonde frizzy wig.

My mom and my husband attended as well...my mom was actually a lounge singer in the 70's and wore a dress she used to wear then.  My husband wore a brown 70's leisure suit that his dad gave him.

The SAR Young Professionals Council and Housing Opportunity Committee orchestrated the event, and I am pleased to say it was a great success! There were 26 event sponsors, lots of raffle prizes, food and drink, disco music, and over 100 bowlers! A fun time was had by all, and best of all we raised lots of money to donate to CARHAF.
