Tenant advocates complain that the changes catered to landlords by removing “interior cleanliness” and lack of rodent infestation from the list of requirements that must be met for a building to pass inspection. Those two standards are instead on a “referral” list, allowing inspectors to give a passing grade to a rental despite those issues while referring the property for follow-up by the city. Licenses can be issued before city officials check up on such referred items, a provision that frustrates some tenant advocates .
