AB 1771: State Housing Law: apartment houses.

This bill proposes to modify the state housing law, which sets building standards for hotels, motels, and apartment houses. The existing law requires a manager or caretaker to reside on the premises of an apartment house with 16 or more apartments. The proposed changes would prohibit state or local entities from requiring a manager to reside on the premises of an apartment house. The Department of Housing and Community Development would be required to update its regulations to reflect these changes. The bill aims to address a statewide concern and applies to all cities, including charter cities.
