INSPECTION OF HOUSES LET IN LODGINGS.
The inspection of these houses is undertaken by Inspectors Ward and
Hancock, who made 11,080 inspections, re-inspections and calls to them. The
total number of houses on the lists which it is the duty of the inspectors
to visit is 1,009, and as they inspected 1,579 houses, it follows that each house
was inspected on the average 1.3 times, while the visits made to each house
to see that work required to be done was carried out, averaged 9.4. Altogether
952 notices, of which 800 were intimations and 92 statutory notices, were served
on the owners or occupiers, and reference to 3,332 nuisances found in 1,343
houses.
