3 Average Rent for Post January 1, 1999 Tenancies (Q Q4 2013) Average Rent for post 1999 Tenancies $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $ $
4 Context: Affordability Crisis Constant 2010 dollars Income Remaining to Very Low-Income Bay Area Tenants After Paying Rent: 1960, 1980, 2010 (25th percentile income and rent for tenants in the San Francisco Bay Area) $30,000 $25,000 $20,000 $15,000 $10,000 $5,000 $ Annual Rent $5,723 $8,215 $10,992 Income after Rent $14,234 $17,721 $10,598 4
5 Purpose, Scope, Effectiveness Purpose: More equal rights for tenants to have stability in their homes Housing market failure and increasing inequality of wealth and income creates extreme power imbalance Scope: Rent regulation & good cause for eviction Good cause protects 26,000 tenant households Rent stability for 19,000 tenant households Old rent control assists more low-income tenants than the BHA (about 2,200 hh) Effectiveness: High LA 27% overcharged, Berkeley under 5% overcharged High customer satisfaction from surveys of owners and tenants 5
6 Berkeley Program Structure Current Staffing Configuration Elected Board Executive Director Registration & Public Information Hearings Legal Administration & Policy Temporary IT Department Total RB staff 9.95 FTE 2.65 FTE 2.75 FTE 5.25 FTE 0.33 FTE 1.00 FTE FTE 6
7 Administration within the City Government Structure Human Resources All staff except Director are City employees All hiring conducted using City process, protocols and job classifications Co-signatory to all union contracts Follow the same salary structure as all other city departments Finance & Auditor Banking & payroll Purchasing : RSB follows or exceeds City standards Use same outside auditor for annual audit 7
8 Budget and Staffing History Fiscal Year Staff Actual FTE Per Unit Fee Expenditures $100 $2.7M $125 $2.3M $124 $2.3M $154 $3.0M $194* $4.0M Notes: Increased costs above inflation since 2002 due to citywide health care and pension costs. (*) The registration fee has remained $194 since
9 Recent Challenges / Areas of Focus Eviction for Good Cause Increased use of conflict resolution & mediation Interdepartmental coordination Increased capacity to serve property owners, tenants and the public 9
10 Eviction for Good Cause Increases in Evictions and Threats of Eviction Without Good Cause Vacancy decontrol increased incentives to evict Foreclosure crisis increased evictions Rent Board has expanded outreach Contacts all new owners and new tenants Active outreach to all owners and tenants regarding their rights and obligations Notifies residents of units in foreclosure Funds legal assistance for low-income tenants Targeted outreach to UC students and BUSD families Maintaining an ongoing community presence 10
11 Focus on Conflict Resolution Hearings and Mediations Year Petitions Mediations Examiners
12 Interdepartmental Coordination Cooperation with Planning Earthquake preparedness: Soft-story buildings Demolition and removal of units Housing code enforcement Energy efficiency in rental properties Tenancies in unpermitted units Cooperation with Health, Housing & Community Services Ensure smoking ordinance minimizes evictions Relocation (temporary relocation ordinance revised, but need provision for displacement due to fire or disaster) Cooperation with Other Departments Auditor & Finance: Increase City revenue collection Public Works: Recycling in rental properties BHA: To assist where our laws overlap & conducting BHA hearings 12
13 Increased Capacity Continued increases in staff experience and education New database software will: Save staff time Make information more accessible and easier to analyze Allow on-line payment of fees and registration of new tenancies Enable improved communication through website, use of social media 13
