4 21-0467 Subject: Choice Of Communications Services Providers By Occupants Ordinance
From: Councilmember Gallo
Recommendation: Adopt An Ordinance To Prohibit Owners Of Multiple Occupancy Buildings From Interfering With The Choice Of Communications Services Providers By Occupants, Establish Requirements For Communications Services Providers To Obtain Access To Multiple Occupancy Buildings, And Establish Remedies For Violation Of The Access Requirement
In general, I support this ordinance. As a small landlord, I want to be present when installers are present. We have had access with lines draped across an open yard, access directly through a roof rather than under an eave, and other novel but inappropriate installations. I do not dispute that access should be given to any provider of a tenant's choosing. However, how and where such access is installed should be at a minimum subject to the owner's veto. I have never been given the planned installation details by a provider.
