Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: California Health and Safety Code section 13146.3 requires every building used as a public or private school within the City of Sacramento’s city limits have a compliance inspection at least once each year. Health and Safety Code section 13146.2 requires the Sacramento Fire Department (SFD) to inspect certain structures annually, including hotels, motels, lodging houses, and apartment houses, for compliance with the building standards of the California Fire Code and other regulations adopted by the State Fire Marshal. Senate Bill 1205 (2018) (SB 1025) requires the SFD report the mandated annual inspections to the Council as the “administering authority” within the meaning of Health and Safety Code section 13146.4. Council must acknowledge receipt of the report by resolution.
SFD’s Prevention Division has completed approximately 91.35 percent of initial inspections, pursuant to sections 13146.2 and 13146.3 of the Health and Safety Code. Any violation(s) of the Sacramento City Code found during inspections have either been corrected or are in the process of correction. Inspections and re-inspections will continue until all code violations are corrected.
Policy Consideration: SB 1025 requires the Fire Department to report mandated annual inspections to the respective governing authority for official receipt of the report through resolution.
Economic Impacts: None.

Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: None.
Rationale for Recommendations: Compliance with SB 1205 ensures that the local governing body and the public are informed that certain structures are compliant with the City Code and protects the health and safety of the community.
