SAN ANTONIO (March 23, 2023) – Councilwoman Dr. Adriana Rocha Garcia commends the passage of the Proactive Apartment Inspections Program, a program that incentivizes multi-family property owners to address code compliance violations before being subject to the stipulations of this program.
 
“While struggling to get basic health and safety housing standards at their apartment complexes, residents came to City Hall to advocate for themselves and others facing similar challenges across San Antonio,” stated District 4 Councilwoman, “Through their efforts and with input from the task force members, city staff, and the Planning and Community Development Committee, we now have a comprehensive program ready to be executed. Efforts made in the past to address this issue have not led to significant changes so implementing this program and reviewing it in a year will help better inform our public policies.”
 
Residents at apartment complexes are asked to reach out to their property management team to report issues at their homes. In case the property management team is unresponsive, residents are encouraged to call 311 to report their concerns.
