Assistant City Manager Roberta Cosentino gave council a code-enforcement update: rental-license status shows about 49% recorded as of February (the figure counts licenses that are paid or unpaid while inspections are pending), inspections rose in February (about 150 inspections that month, 227 year-to-date) and rental licenses are technically due Jan. 1.
