CA SB1465

Expands the definition of "substandard building" to include any building where hazardous conditions endanger occupants, nearby residents, or the public, regardless of zoning designation or approved use.

Defines "residential rental unit" to include any unit rented for human habitation in a building deemed substandard, entitling displaced tenants to relocation assistance including moving costs and rent differential compensation for up to 120 days.

Prohibits enforcement agencies from commencing repair proceedings if a building is substandard solely due to illegal occupancy, provided the owner declares under penalty of perjury that the occupant is not a legal tenant and is actively pursuing eviction.

Allows courts to extend the 18-month post-receiver jurisdiction period to ensure continuing compliance, and clarifies that receivers appointed under other laws do not prevent additional receiver appointments under these provisions.

Specifies that successors in interest who obtain property after a notice of violation is recorded are subject to correction orders and liable for all receiver and enforcement agency costs and fees.
