^^^ there's a simple solution to that.

Don't be a renter!


Seriously though, all they gotta do, is have the inspection PRIOR to a tenant moving in. Ie: require inspections before a lease can be signed and that renters be provided contact info for code enforcement.

That way the city/State can know everything is up to snuff when someone moves in, and if the landlord later refuses to fix something that should be fixed by them, the renter has the recourse to ask the authorities for help in resolving the problem.

That way the city can have minimum safety and function requirements without having to violate anyone's Rights.
