Description/Analysis
IssueDetail
Issue Detail: California Health and Safety Code section 13146.3 requires annual compliance inspections of every building used as a public or private school within the city limits of the City of Sacramento. California Health and Safety Code section 13146.2 requires the Sacramento Fire Department (SFD) to annually inspect specified occupancies, including hotels, motels, lodging houses, and apartment buildings, for compliance with the California Fire Code and other regulations adopted by the State Fire Marshal. Senate Bill 1205 (2018) (SB 1025) requires SFD to report the completion status of these mandated inspections to the City Council, acting as the “administering authority,” pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 13146.4. Through a resolution, the City Council must acknowledge receipt of the report.
SFD’s Fire Prevention Division has completed approximately 96.2 percent of the required initial inspections, pursuant to Health and Safety Code sections 13146.2 and 13146.3 of the Health and Safety Code. Any violations of the Sacramento City Code identified during inspections have either been corrected or are currently in the process of correction. Inspections and re-inspections will continue until all identified code violations have been resolved.
