17.20.1160 - Exceptions.

A notice of noncompliance will not be mailed pursuant to Section 17.20.1090 if, upon evidence provided by the property owner, the city manager makes one of the following findings: A. The rental housing was rendered substandard solely by reason of earthquake, flood or other natural disaster and such condition has not existed for more than three years since the disaster; or B. The owner of the housing has secured financing and commenced necessary repairs to bring such housing into compliance; or C. The owner of rental housing has attempted to secure financing to bring such housing into compliance with state laws and city codes, and 1. Such financing has been denied solely because such housing is located in a neighborhood in which financial institutions do not provide financing for housing rehabilitation; and 2. The rental housing is neither an owner-occupied residence of less than five dwelling units nor is a nonowner-occupied residence of less than five dwelling units where the owner thereof has applied for a secured home improvement loan to improve this property from a financial institution. D. The rental housing is rendered substandard solely by the reason of a change in applicable state or local housing standards and such violations do not cause substantial danger to the occupants of such property, as determined by the city manager.
