Irving Code Enforcement conducts inspections of multifamily and rental properties to verify building standards compliance. The STR ordinance does not require pre-registration inspection.
Irving's Code Enforcement Department conducts inspections of multifamily properties and rental units to ensure compliance with building and housing standards. Multifamily property owners and managers are responsible for maintaining units and exterior areas to city code standards. The short-term rental ordinance requires a signed attestation of habitability but does not mandate a pre-registration property inspection. Code Enforcement officers may inspect rental properties in response to complaints or as part of proactive enforcement programs. The risk rating system in the code assigns inspection frequency based on compliance history. Properties with poor compliance history may face more frequent inspections.
Non-compliant rental properties face fines, required repairs, and potential occupancy restrictions.
