Residential rental inspection program
Summary
Oakley's exterior-only rental inspection program (OMC 4.30) covers over 1,600 parcels. The council debated its fairness — Vice Mayor Meadows wants equal standards for owner-occupied homes — and may adjust when the fee kicks in for listed-but-unrented properties.

Impact analysis
The program charges an annual registration fee per rental parcel (cited as roughly $108-250 indexed), which funds inspections.
Renters get a baseline of exterior property maintenance standards and a complaint channel they might not otherwise have.
Landlords, who Vice Mayor Meadows argues are unfairly singled out while owner-occupied properties face no equivalent inspection.
