Summary

Frisco Code of Ordinances Section 18-428(c) requires every multi-family landlord's inspection report to carry a printed notice telling tenants to "CONTACT THE CITY OF FRISCO CODE ENFORCEMENT DIVISION" for unresolved multi-family housing code violations, plus a 24-hour emergency contact name and phone number.

(1) The names of designated employees or other authorized persons who shall be assigned to respond to emergency conditions; (2) The telephone number where said employees can be contacted during any 24-hour period. Emergency conditions shall include fire, natural disaster, flood, collapse hazard, burst pipes or violent crime; and (3) A notice for reporting code violations to the city as follows: "TO REPORT UNRESOLVED VIOLATIONS OF THE CITY'S MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING CODE FOR THESE PREMISES, CONTACT THE CITY OF FRISCO CODE ENFORCEMENT DIVISION."

Full Breakdown

Section 18-428(c) requires three things on every unit's inspection report. First, the names of designated employees or other authorized persons assigned to respond to emergency conditions (18-428(c)(1)). Second, a telephone number where those designated people can be reached during any 24-hour period, covering emergency conditions the code specifically lists: fire, natural disaster, flood, collapse hazard, burst pipes, or violent crime (18-428(c)(2)). Third, the exact notice a tenant needs to escalate an unresolved problem to the city: "TO REPORT UNRESOLVED VIOLATIONS OF THE CITY'S MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING CODE FOR THESE PREMISES, CONTACT THE CITY OF FRISCO CODE ENFORCEMENT DIVISION" (18-428(c)(3)).

The landlord must keep these reports, notice included, on the premises of the complex, or at the landlord's central business office if there is no onsite office, and make them available to the city administrator for inspection at all reasonable times (18-428(d)). This notice sits inside the same annual walkthrough inspection report required by Section 18-428(a), so a tenant encounters the reporting instructions as part of that documented process rather than through a separate complaint form.

Violations & Fines

Omitting the required emergency-contact information or the city reporting notice from the inspection report is part of the landlord's inspection and recordkeeping duty under Section 18-428, and failure to maintain that documentation is a violation of the article under Section 18-428(a)(4), feeding into the probation, suspension or revocation process of Section 18-430.

Frequently Asked Questions

The City of Frisco Code Enforcement Division. Section 18-428(c)(3) requires every multi-family inspection report to print that exact instruction for tenants whose violation complaints have not been resolved by the landlord.
