Section 17043 Of Chapter 4. Rules And Regulations From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 13. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 4.
17043
. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if the
condition rendering any of the accommodations in employee housing
substandard is the overcrowding of the accommodations, the
enforcement agency shall provide notice to the affected residents of
the condition and shall give the residents of the accommodations a
reasonable opportunity to correct the violation prior to the
commencement of any action or proceeding pursuant to this part. If
the enforcement agency determines to institute proceedings to correct
the overcrowded condition, the residents may appear and be heard at
a hearing convened as part of the proceedings. If the enforcement
agency permits the owner or operator of the employee housing to
appeal the initial notice of violation or order to abate, the
residents shall also be permitted to appeal the initial notice of
violation or order to abate.
(b) On appeal, if the enforcement agency determines that the only
means of abatement is the vacation of the accommodations, the
enforcement agency shall consider the availability of alternative
housing for the residents, and shall, if alternative housing is not
available, grant the residents a reasonable period of time, as
determined by the enforcement agency, to find alternative housing.
