A RESOLUTION OF THE SEAL BEACH CITY COUNCIL
APPROVING THE CODE ENFORCEMENT MULTIPLE UNIT
INSPECTION POLICY
WHEREAS, California Assembly Bill 548 (AB 548) was enacted during the 2023

residential buildings, by requiring local enforcement agencies to establish policies
and procedures for inspecting such buildings when a housing unit is found to be
substandard or in violation of state housing laws, and the City's building official,
or their code enforcement officer or building inspector determines that the
substandard conditions(s) could reasonably affect other units; and,
WHEREAS, AB 548 requires that the developed policies and procedures meet
specific requirements, including the identification of hazardous conditions that
could affect other units, the inspection of adjacent units, the allowance of
inspection of all units in the presence of severe building-wide conditions, and the
provision of notice to property owners; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Seal Beach recognizes the importance of safeguarding
the health and safety of residents living in substandard multi-unit housing and is
committed to ensuring compliance with State law.
