The City of Florissant takes pride in its community and housing stock. Minimum standards for dwelling units were created to protect the public safety, health and general welfare of the people of the city. The general objectives are to:
- To protect the character and stability of residential properties.
- To provide minimum standards for cooking, heating and sanitary equipment necessary to health and safety of occupants of building.
- To provide facilities for light and ventilation necessary to health and safety.
- To provide minimum standards for maintenance of existing residential buildings, and to thus prevent the creation of slums and blight.
- To preserve the property value of land and buildings throughout the city.
A property in the City of Florissant can be sold without an inspection 'as is'. However, the buyer will then be responsible for obtaining and paying for the inspection and attaining occupancy permit prior to anyone moving into or occupying the property.
Occasionally there will be differences in the inspection report from the City of Florissant and a private inspection company or FHA/VA. It is recommended that the buyer note any problems during their final walk-through and use the inspection report results from all sources rather than comparing one report against another for discrepancies.
