Assistant Director of Neighborhood Services Ray Mendez presented a first-year recap of the Town’s Rental and Lodging Registration Program, which was adopted by City Council in November 2024 to promote safe and healthy conditions across all rental properties. Since launching in January 2025, the program has registered and inspected single-family, multi-family, and hotel/motel properties throughout Addison, many of which had not been inspected since initial construction.
In its first year, the program achieved full registration and inspection of all multi-family and hotel/motel properties, along with dozens of single-family rentals, identifying common issues such as smoke detectors, electrical hazards, and maintenance needs. Staff worked closely with property owners to resolve violations, with many properties successfully coming into compliance.
The presentation also highlighted lessons learned during the first year, along with process improvements underway to streamline inspections, enhance data tracking, and strengthen communication with property owners moving forward.
