Which parties/organizations were most critcial to buy-in for Bob's ordinance adoption?

In cooperation with our vendor doing home visits, City of Dallas Code Enforcement and the EPA Regional Office, we implemented an environmental assessment at part of our asthma education home visits. We have done 50,  56% had housing code violations. 16% led to reports to the City.  We are working to geomap where our higher risk asthmatics are. We have three zip codes were over 10% of total members have high acuity asthma as measured by our predictive modeling tool. These are areas with high concentration of multi family, non high rise housing

Does your county appraisal data somehow indicate that the building is a rental property?

Do you have a rental licensing program? Or a rental registry? I'm not clear on that is the "online registration"

What sort of credentials do you require for the third party inspectors? 

Who performs the inspections on rental units in Dallas? is it a code enforcement officer? is it done every single time that the apartment unit turns over? If so, how do you find out that hte unit is turning over?
