Substandard Housing
The California Health & Safety Code Section 17920.3 known as the State Housing Law, defines substandard housing as any condition which exists to an extent that it endangers the life, limb, property, safety or welfare of the occupants or general public.

- Hazardous Electrical, Plumbing and Mechanical Equipment
- Infestation of vermin/rodents
- Deteriorated foundations, floors, support systems, walls, ceilings or roofs.
