2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 13 - HOUSING|PART 1.5 - REGULATION OF BUILDINGS USED FOR HUMAN HABITATION|CHAPTER 8 - Code Enforcement Incentive Program|Section 17998.

17998.  The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(a)  The Department of Housing and Community Development reports that one in every eight dwelling units in the state is substandard and that unless health and safety problems are corrected, habitability conditions generally deteriorate until the units become life threatening and uninhabitable and must be removed from the housing stock through closure or demolition. (b)  California is experiencing a housing shortage of significant proportions, particularly in the affordable housing sector. The state and many local governments are funding affordable housing from a variety of sources at substantial costs. It is ill advised to neglect timely code enforcement responsibilities and, as a result, to lose housing that could have been retained. (c)  The lack of code enforcement on a single dwelling unit can lead to the deterioration of an entire neighborhood as the substandard or abandoned unit becomes a magnet for crime, vandalism, fires, and other activities that rapidly infect the surrounding homes and neighborhood. (d)  Many local governments endeavor to fulfill their statutory responsibility for code enforcement. However, local governments with a higher percentage of lower income households with families, living in older, overcrowded housing stock, exacerbated by the neglect of absentee slumlords, bear a disproportionate code enforcement cost and responsibility compared with more affluent communities. (e)  Existing law provides building standards to assure decent, safe, and sanitary housing for all Californians. (f)  Resources for code enforcement at the local level are frequently allocated to construction-related code enforcement activities, which generate fees to pay for regulatory services, including building and permit inspections, rather than housing maintenance activities that prevent or abate substandard conditions. (g)  The enforcement of housing maintenance codes for existing housing is frequently performed only on a complaint-by-complaint basis and frequently there is insufficient funding for the abatement of existing violations through timely and effective administrative or judicial proceedings.

18000.  (a) This part shall be known and may be cited as the Manufactured Housing Act of 1980.(b) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(1) Manufactured housing, both in mobilehome parks or manufactured housing communities, and outside of those parks or communities, provides a safe and affordable housing option for many Californians.(2) Confusion exists among consumers, enforcement agencies, lenders, and others in the housing industry regarding the difference between “manufactured housing” and “mobilehomes.” All single-family factory-constructed housing built on or after June 15, 1976, that is in compliance with the standards of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development promulgated under the federal National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. Sec. 5401 and following) are manufactured housing or manufactured homes, not “mobilehomes” and, as such, often are subject to additional benefits.(3) Continued use of the term “mobilehome” in various statutes, as well as the implication that the terms are interchangeable, exacerbates the confusion between the two products and deters affordable financing, discourages use in certain localities, and perpetuates incorrect perceptions as to codes and standards.(4) The changes made by the act adding this subdivision to clarify the meaning of the terms “mobilehomes” and “manufactured homes” are not intended to effect any substantive change with respect to the treatment of those housing products or to the consumer protections provided for those housing products.(Amended by Stats. 2007, Ch. 540, Sec. 3. Effective January 1, 2008.)

During any transition required by this part, and until July 1, 1982, the department may determine or effectuate any action or requirement in a manner which implements the legislative intent of this part and which protects appropriate interests of any parties subject to or protected by this part.
