Inspectors from the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee inspected several units and two of the apartment buildings, including one for families and another for seniors in late August. Though the report won’t be completed until later this month, officials have confirmed a roach issue there. In this case, $400 per incident, he said, noting each incident would be subject to an additional $100 fine for every month is isn’t corrected, he said.
