House-to-House Inspection.
Special attention has been given to this important branch of
the Sanitary Inspectors' work. Efforts have been directed to
concentrate on special areas in order to limit time spent in travelling
and so on, and there has been a satisfactory increase in the
number of inspections under this head for the last half of the year.
For the whole year 2,346 house-to-house visits were made; at
80 per cent. of these sanitary defects were found and notices were
served upon the owners to abate.
Rent Restrictions (Notice of Increase) Act, 1923.
Only three applications were made by tenants for certificates
under this Act and two were granted, one certificate being- refused
for the reason that, in my opinion, the condition of the house did
not warrant such action.
