Housing with Integrity Amendment Act of 2025

The Housing with Integrity Amendment Act of 2025 targets landlords of properties with 10 or more rental units that repeatedly fail to address serious health and safety violations. It prevents the issuance of new basic business licenses to landlords owning properties where 30% or more units have unresolved Class 1 (e.g., lack of heat, electrical hazards) or Class 2 (e.g., defective plumbing) violations for 90+ days. The bill also establishes a new Tier 1 inspection category requiring twice-yearly checks for properties meeting these violation thresholds. This shifts enforcement responsibility from tenants to landlords, aiming to hold negligent owners accountable for maintaining habitable housing.
