their proper implementation. The standards of course, are not
statutory, but are an expression of the Council's view as to what is
reasonable. There is recourse to the Court but so far it has not
been necessary to seek this. This, it is hoped, will continue to
be unnecessary and that owners will bring their premises up to what
after all is a modest standard. Observance of the basic amenities
standard within a house in multiple occupation does not imply that
the premises may not require revisiting later, since it has been found
that the persons within the premises, and the manner of occupation,
is constantly changing. It is most unfortunate too that the great
majority of cases of overcrowding discovered, occur in houses in
multiple occupation.
Other routine inspection of the Borough must continue. The
sanitary nuisances and defects must be abated and the many routine
duties of the public health inspectors, other than housing, must also
continue to receive adequate attention.
