San Bruno Point-of-Sale Takes Effect May 8, 2015

Effective May 8, 2015, the City of San Bruno will begin enforcement of a point-of-sale requirement for sewer lateral inspections. As with other point-of-sale mandates for sewer lateral inspections in San Mateo County, this is as a result of litigation by Baykeeper.

You are exempt from the ordinance if:

  1. The property is in escrow; OR
  2. The property has been listed on the MLS, OR
  3. The residential property was originally constructed less than fifty (50) years ago.

Other exemptions include:

  1. Condominium or cooperative apartment buildings or the units within those buildings, except as a condition to conversion to a condominium or cooperative apartment building;
  2. Properties that share a sanitary sewer lateral with another property;
  3. Property transfers that do not involve the payment of a County transfer tax;
  4. Properties for five (5) years after issuance of a certificate of compliance by this City under this chapter;
  5. Properties for five (5) years after acceptance of a test pursuant to this chapter, if partial or no repairs of the lateral were required and any repairs were completed pursuant to permit and inspection by the City;
  6. For five (5) years after inspection and approval by the city of completed alterations to the lateral, if alterations pursuant to a City permit were made to the location of or connections to the lateral following a test pursuant to this section;
  7. Properties for twenty (20) years after City acceptance of construction work, provided that replacement of the complete sewer lateral was performed and accepted.

Redwood City Council Unanimously Opposes Rent Control Ballot Measure
In a decisive 6-0 vote, the Redwood City Council has officially opposed the Redwood City Fair and Affordable Housing Ordinance, which will appear on the November 3, 2026 ballot. The Council's decision follows an independent supplemental economic impact analysis that concluded the measure extends far beyond traditional rent control and could have significant unintended consequences for tenants, housing providers, affordable housing, and the City's financial stability. SAMCAR applauds the six Redwood City Councilmembers for carefully reviewing the analysis and taking a position based on the long-term interests of the entire community. We encourage Realtors, property owners, homeowners, and renters to learn more about the measure before casting their vote this November.

REALTOR Party: SAMCAR Helps Half Moon Bay End Failed Rental Policies
The National Association of REALTORS' REALTOR Party recently highlighted the repeal of Half Moon Bay's rent stabilization and rental registry policies as a Success Story highlighting SAMCAR efforts to pursue a disciplined, relationship-based advocacy strategy grounded in data, local experience, and constructive solutions. A significant upshot of this result is that even when rent control policies are already in place, they are not irreversible. REALTOR associations can play a decisive role by staying engaged after adoption, monitoring program outcomes, electing more supportive candidates, and using credible data to demonstrate when policies fail to meet their goals.
