Code enforcement is a good thing. We must continue to make sure that these code enforcement programs are administered with the cooperation and consent of renters. Bad press could give them a black eye, so we should take care not to force anything on anyone or trample any rights. Here in Los Angeles, inspectors have threatened me with eviction for resisting them. I was threatened with citation for having a small stack of newspaper and my landlord (with whom I actually have a friendly relationship) was threatened with fines because of my resistance as a way of blackmailing me into submission.
