It is anticipated that each Sector Inspector will process a minimum of 20 new Housing Code major improvement cases per calendar month, and comply an equal number per month outside of rehabilitation areas in which teams are working. Effort should be made where feasible to keep each Sector Inspector's workload of uncompleted active notices to approximately 200.

Conservation of those residential structures in good condition to prevent the spread of blight and decay through encouragement of maintenance efforts and protection from those conditions such as overcrowding and unauthorized conversion which lead to blight. Rehabilitation o£ all substandard residential structures which are presently unsuitable for human habitation but where improvements can be made at a reasonable cost to bring them up to standard and where such rehabilitation does not conflict with other community goals by 1971. Demolition of all residential structures which are‘unfit for human habita- tion and where rehabilitation would be prohibitively expensive or would otherwise conflict with other community goals by 1971. Review and re-evaluation beginning in 1967 on a continuing basis of those ee ES ap re -——— = vehabilitation areas which have been covered in previous years to determine their need for possible future systematic reinitiation of total rehabilitation effort. © Ii, Areas and Priorities; A. The Housing Conditions Map reflecting the survey made in 1963 has been brought up-to-date. In this revision, close coordination has been developed between the Planning Department, the Housing Code Division and the Director of Governmental Liaison. This has resulted in an improved plan for a city-wide, systematic, comprehensive Housing Code Compliance Program. The basic map of the revised survey indicates on a block basis the following categories. 1. Cong-rvation (Areas which principally require either no improvements or only minor improvements with occasional rehabilitation). 2. Intensive Conservation (those areas which because of certain factors © such as age, transition in occupancy or use, or adverse fringe influences, etc., require a greater amount of surveillance in order to forestall blight and decay. These areas will normally require only minor improvements and spot rehabilitation). 3. Rehabilitation (those areas in which the majority of structures require rehabilitation which does not exceed 50 per cent of their value; some spot clearance is. anticipated). NN 4. Clearance = Code Enforcement (predominately smaller areas where the majority of structures ultimately should be cleared and the area xedeveloped. These areas will be inspected for code compliance with 2 2/1/67 B. Cc. Oey ee lg a le a a ee emphasis on demolition. Should the owner elect to rehabilitate a structure he will be permitted to do so provided he complies in £ull with all codes and ordinances, Se Title T Urban Renewal (those areas in which the majority of struce tures should be demolished, with some rehabilitation, and where the siza and cost of the contemplated action justifies the use of Title I federal funds). The map also shows division of the city into halves, for supervisor responsibility; each of these halves is sub-divided into five Sectors. Each of these Sectors is assigned to a Housing Code inspector, es his area of individual responsibility. The wap also has on it areas of various sizes outlined showing the neighborhood designation with numbera ranging from '65 to ‘69. ‘These areas indicate where and when an intensive program of systematic housing code compliance is to be undertaken on a house to house basis, The target date assigned to a particular area indicates its relative priority. Those with a high priority have an early date; those with a lower priority, a later date, | . Priovities for the areas have been based on: 1. The number cf donpltance inspections which the Housing Code Division can undertake in one year, while maintaining £r14 city-wide coverage. Z. the xelationship of rehabilitation areas to surrounding or internal community activities, community facility development or Title i Urban Renewal Projects. 3 | 2/1/67 4. hc he a ee 2 nee Sg el * na a Conczal conditions in the particular area.

GLADIN, Director February 3, 1967 TO; Bill Wofford Earl Landers FaoM: Collier Gledin AJ) SUBJECT: 1967 Housing Code Compliance Program This memo is in response to @ discussion a few days ago between Mr. Wofford, myself and Pierce Mahony concerning some problem aspects of the 1967 Housing Code Compliance Program. At the meeting a decision was tentatively reached that Mr. Wofford would draft some changes to the program for a different approach in clearance - code enforcement areas. Even then the Planning Department had reservations concerning Mr, Wofford's suggestions. The draft and further analysis has not provided sufficient grounds to justify eny change. This department is in basic disagreement with the new concept of clearance - code enforcement as expressed in HCCP policy and procedure guide version of February 1, 1967. This refers specifically to paragraphs II. A. 4. on pages 2 and 3 and IV. E. 2. on page 12. We realize that substandard houses in industrially zoned areas are a problem but do not feel that this is an acceptable answer, The word “ultimately” is too vague and indefinite and only serves to further postpone solution of the problem, According to the Zoning Ordinance construction of new residences is not permitted in M-l and M-2 districts end existing residences are nonconforming uses. To rehabilitate many of these substandard residences would require structural alteration which would be in violetion of the nonconforming use provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. I am opposed to the city supporting a policy of rehabilitation in these areas which is in conflict with @ efty ordinance, I feel thes two wrongs do not make @ right in this case and propose to submit such a policy to the City Attorney for his review and evaluation. In any event, @ strict MEMORANDUM Page 2 interpretation must be made of the provision of the policy that states "provided he complies in full with a1} codes and ordinances," and enforced with no deviation whatsoever. If this interpretation is followed and full compliance is insisted upon, as the latter is now stated in the cited dreft, then in the majority of cases the property owner would not be allowed to rehabilitate at all. This department formally proposes that the nonconforming use provisions of the Zoning Ordinance be clarified and strengthened right away to permit a better resolution of the entire problem. The Planning Department will do this and strive to have them ready for adoption within 30 days.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We feel that through intensive enforcement of our housing codes we can make a substantial impact on the improvement of living conditions in this area. Since Boulevard falls within the proposed Bedford+Pine Urban Redevelopment Project we are anxious not to institute any programs contrary to the urban redevelopment plan for the area. Would strict enforcement of the housing code along both sides of Boulevard between Forrest Avenue and North Avenue or Ponce de Leon be in conflict with the urban redevelopment plan for rehabilitation of structures in this area?
