TENEMENT HOUSES.
The number of houses registered as being let in
lodgings or occupied by members of more than one
family was 207 ; 786 visits of inspection were made
to these houses, and arising out of such visits, 262
Notices were served. The present By-laws do not
apply when the landlord himself resides on the premises,
or where the rent of the tenement is above a
certain figure. This explains the limited number of
tenement houses which are now on the register and
subject to the By-laws. Revised By-laws are now in
preparation, and will be applicable to a large number
of tenements which are at present excluded from the
operation of the By-laws.
