Modesto is poised to start a rental housing inspection program to ensure all residents living in the city’s roughly 40,000 rental properties — from single-family homes and duplexes to apartments and condos — have a decent, safe place to call home.
The City Council on Tuesday will be asked to approve what officials are calling the Rental Housing Safety Program, an effort the city started more than a year ago after it condemned a dilapidated apartment building.
