STLCA is building a public-record accountability system for Seattle renter protections and housing-code enforcement — complaint by complaint, inspection by inspection, property by property.
Records in STLCA's citywide 2003–2025 landlord-tenant enforcement file.
Complaint records with description text reviewed through the current issue-classification rules.
Complaints where the tenant text supports at least one physical housing-condition issue.
Paperwork questions, information requests, staff-only notes and physical-condition complaints are separated. That makes the accountability question narrower and stronger: what does the record show happened after a tenant reported an actual housing condition?
See the counting rulesAmong 17,989 strict habitability records now marked Closed or Completed, 9,074 have no inspection date in the City's public-data field.
That does not prove no inspection occurred. A populated date does not, by itself, prove a physical inspection occurred either. STLCA reports the field as recorded and separately reviews underlying case evidence.
Before Council adds new rules, cuts or adds positions, or relies on case counts as performance evidence, it should be able to follow a housing complaint from intake through inspection, enforcement, correction, verification and closure.
