Selectiye Plan
Of Enforcing
Code Weighed
Policy Would centel
On Improving
Rundown Areas

A proposed policy under which
controversial provisions Of the
projected new housing code may
be enforced on neighborhood
basis in rundown areas, rather
than on an individual basis in
good neighborhoods, is being
considered by code advisers.
Some such policy, it is
thought, might bring property
owners and health officials
closer to agreement on just what
should be required under the
new housing rules.
For example, a strict retroac-
tive ban on windowless kitchens
would require major rebuilding
of what might be otherwise q
perfectly sound apartment house.
An enforcement policy of cor
recting deteriorated housing on
a neighborhood basis. with GER
tain qualifications. might pro-
vide a way around this objection,
80 long as a building remained
in good condition and the neigh
borhood around 1t was kept UP,
according to the new idea.
May Come Up Friday.
The plan may be presented to
the Commissioners at meeting
on Friday on several aspects Of
the knotty task of developing q
code to improve Washington S
housing standards without being
unduly onerous to property
owners.
A proposed enforcement policy
declaration has been prepared by
G. Yates Cook, executive director
Of the Federal City Council.
It was discussed yesterday by
Charles B. Dulcan. chairman of
the Housing Code Committee;
william Harold Dyer, vice chair
man of the review committee,
and Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Robert r. Kneipp.
Mr.. Kneipp and Mr.. Cook will
meet today to go over the pro-
posal. Mr.. Cook is including
suggestion for a review board
composed of both District off,
cials and appropriate members
Of the community -at-large.
Redraft in Prospect.
II the new enforcement idea
proves acceptable to the advi-
sers, the steering committee will
propose to the city heads that
the housing code be redrafted
to the extent necessary. along
with consideration of the views
expressed at q public hearing
recently on the present draft. 2
Meanwhile, the report of con-
sultants James w. Rouse and
Nathaniel s. Keith on a slum
elimination and prevention pro-
gram for the city is expected
tomorrow.
Expected to attend Fridays

worked out.
Not on "Crash Basis"
I'VE can't accept the idea
that, because something was
built under an inferior code, it
should be permitted to per-
petuity." he said. "On the other
hand, we can't slap something
on the city on q crash basis.
