DISCUSSION
California Health and Safety Codes §13145, §13146, and §17921 grant the authority of City and County Fire Departments to enforce fire and life safety standards, adopted by the State Fire Marshal. Since 2010, residents and occupants of the structures within the City of Moreno Valley have benefited from the annual, comprehensive inspection program, by having increased the level of safety at these types of facilities.
In accordance with the City of Moreno Valley’s adopted fee schedule, inspection fees are set by the California Health and Safety Code s §13146.2 and §13146.3. The Moreno Valley Fire Department inspects various buildings, identified as state -mandated structures, consisting of apartments, hotels, lodging homes, motels, public or private schools, and certain residential care facilities for compliance with fire and life safety standards.
The Moreno Valley Fire Department ensures compliance of these facilities by scheduling inspections with property managers and/or owners, during each facility’s assigned inspection month. The Moreno Valley F ire Department is mandated by the state of California to have completed inspections at 353 facilities and or/ complexes for FY 2023/2024; 100% of which have been completed. The 353 inspected facilities and/or complexes equate to a total of 1,180 individual buildings inspected. A copy of the SB 1205 Annual Report is attached to Resolution No. 2024-XX as Exhibit A.
