Housing Code Unit
Voice
On Review Panel
Eunice Book
By John w. Stepp

Citizen representation on the
proposed Housing Code Review
Board should be considered by
the District Commissioners under
a recommendation yesterday by
the steering and review commit
tees of the Housing Code Com
mittee.
This was one Of a number of
suggestions made to alter the
proposed code as drafted several
months ago. The notifications
will be aired at public hearing
early in December.
The original draft called for
Commissioner appointed board
members selected from among
qualified employees of the NUM-
cipal government. The number
was not specified, but three is
believed probable. !
Afford Advice.
Over some opposition. largely
on the part of the Corporation
Counsel's Office, the steering and
review bodies concluded that the
city heads should give thought
to providing means whereby citi-
zens, not District employees, might
have the opportunity of affording
advice or recommendations to the
Review Board though not actu-
ally members thereof, thereby in
suring broad representation OF
views in administration of the
code.
"Some steering committee mem
bers think the board should have
citizen members. not experts
with special interests. on the
board"
Opposition to this idea is based
on the conviction of legal ad-
visers that the proposed review
board would serve a policing
function - enforcing housing
regulations. It would be a mis-
take, this reasoning goes, to have
private citizens on an enforce
ment agency such as the pro-
posed board.
Among other changes recon-
mended by the two subcommit-
tees were:
A requirement that the owner
or operator of dwelling units no.
tify his tenants in writing of the
maximum number of occupants
the code allows in the rented
quarters.
Specifications Cited.
Requirement that each dwell
ing unit contain at least 13C
square feet of floor area pei
initial occupant and at least 9(
additional square feet of flool
space for each additional occu.
pant. Rooms used for sleeping
by no more than one person
must have at least 10 square feet
of floor space, and such room.
used by two or more person.
must contain at least so square
feet per person.
Kitchens and bathrooms bull

Building Code underwent a majo
revision, will be acceptable from
a ventilation standpoint if the!

lished by the code. Kitchens in
