Housing Housing investigates complaints about code violations relating to health, safety and housing. Our Inspector is responsible for Citywide Housing activities. Once an Inspector receives a complaint he or she determines if either a warning notice or an immediate inspection is needed to rectify the problem. Warning notices are mailed to the responsible parties informing them that an alleged violation has been reported. It is the party's responsibility to remedy the problem and/or contact the Housing Inspection office. In cases where an immediate inspection is needed, the Inspector will make an appointment with the party or visit the property unannounced.
It is the mission of the Housing Division to work in partnership with the people of Santa Clara to promote and maintain a safe and desirable living environment.
Our Inspector is responsible for investigating complaints about substandard housing and for conducting systematic inspections of all apartment/condominium complexes. We enforce the California State Housing Code.
