Facilities that house five or more agricultural workers are inspected annually on a routine basis and in response to complaints received by this department.
These inspections are conducted to ensure that the facilities meet the minimum standards of habitation specified in the State Employee Housing Act. The California Department of Housing and Community Development performs audits of the Environmental Health Division inspection program annually to verify that the program is meeting its goals.
Three inspections are completed annually:
- Water - Drinking water analysis is conducted at employee housing locations where drinking water is sourced from water well.
- Pre-Occupancy - Pre-Occupancy inspections are conducted before the annual permit is issued.
- Occupancy - Occupancy inspections are conducted before the annual permit is issued.
