Housing Quality Sample Clauses

The Housing Quality clause sets standards for the condition and maintenance of residential properties covered by the agreement. It typically requires that the property be safe, clean, and in good repair, often specifying minimum requirements for utilities, structural integrity, and habitability. By establishing these expectations, the clause ensures tenants have a livable environment and provides a clear basis for addressing deficiencies, thereby protecting tenant rights and clarifying landlord responsibilities.
Housing Quality. The Property must (1) pass a Housing Quality Standards (HQS) Inspection and (2) if the Property is included within an FHA program, meet minimum FHA Housing Standards as determined by the FHA Appraisal. The County and/or its Agents shall have the right to inspect the Property for compliance with the PATHWAY TO PURCHASE guidelines, including, but not limited to, all applicable local codes and zoning ordinances. Deficiencies identified in both the HQS Inspection and any FHA Appraisal, as reflected in FHA Compliance Inspection Report (HUD-92051), must be corrected prior to closing. All deficiencies identified in the HQS Inspection Report that are an imminent threat to life, health, or safety, as determined by the HQS inspector and PATHWAY TO PURCHASE staff, must be corrected prior to occupancy. In addition, the Borrower must procure an independent home inspection performed by a home inspector licensed by the State (such inspection, an “Independent Inspection”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and only if the improvements in and on the Property are newly constructed (i.e. never before occupied and completed within sixty (60) days prior to the date first written above) and a use and occupancy certificate has been issued the County for said improvements, then the Borrower may proceed without an Independent Inspection, provided that Borrower acknowledges as follows: Borrower’s Initials: /

Housing Quality. Drawing from ACS data, Decennial Census data, American Housing Study (AHS) data, Palm Beach County parcel data, LWB code compliance records, county eviction records,1 Palm Beach County's 2021 Affordable Housing Assessment, permitting records, interviews with city planners and code enforcement officers, interviews with residents, and field observations, we will assess the quality of the city's housing stock. We anticipate compiling the following information about housing quality into our report: - Descriptive statistics regarding the age and physical characteristics of the city's housing stock (estimated with ACS and Decennial Census data) 1 Landlords often initiate evictions when tenants withhold rent due to poor housing quality and unaddressed maintenance requests. Although not a valid defense unless rents have been deposited into a court ledger, many tenants document the maintenance problems that are present in their units when filing affirmative defenses to eviction complaints. - The approximate number of abandoned, distressed, and/or uninhabitable units in the city (estimated with ACS data, Census data, code enforcement data, and interview responses)2 - Neighborhoods in which distressed properties and blight are concentrated (estimated via low property values, property characteristics, vacancy rates, code and fire violations, interviews, and field observations) - The most common maintenance and safety hazards that affect local households (e.g., rodents, insects, mold, leaks, etc.) (estimated via code compliance records, interviews, and field observations) - Differences in housing quality between owner-occupied and rental housing units (estimated via code compliance records, interviews, and field observations) - The relationship between rising housing costs and housing quality (estimated via building permits, code compliance records, interviews, eviction records, and field observations)3 Collectively, these data will allow us to estimate the number of residents who are living in housing that is unsafe, inadequate, or undignified; the number of units that would benefit from redevelopment; and whether rising home values and rents have translated into physical improvements to the City's housing stock. Such data will help us determine whether a housing emergency is present, because diminution of quality is a core indicator of exploitation and inflation; because code non- compliance threatens public health, safety, and welfare; and because condemnations in c...
