Property owners who receive a Department of Licenses and Inspections (L&I) violation typically have five to 35 days to correct the issue.

After that period, L&I automatically conducts a follow-up inspection. However, owners who correct their violations sooner may request an earlier reinspection.

To streamline these requests, L&I Quality of Life (QOL) and Inspections, Safety and Compliance (ISC) have developed a single joint reinspection request form.

Visit the L&I Code Enforcement webpage for more information or request your L&I reinspection.

Two amended City Council Bills recently passed that will strengthen protections for renters and increase landlord accountability measures. The new Safe Healthy Homes law could affect your rental business as of Nov. 1, 2026.

To learn more about the newly passed legislation, read Bills #250329 and #250330.
