This may be a stopgap measure but I have news - laws vary from one jurisdiction to another but in general tenants are straw men, they have little to no assets, while injury lawyers see landlords as owners of property that is worth going after in court.

Independence, Missouri proposes mandatory rental inspections

Government operates the same way.The maliciously bad landlords (criminals, for all intents and purposes) will ignore the law, figure out how to fudge the paperwork, or avoid detection so it won't do anything to prevent a fire or accident or injury in their properties because the city doesn't have the manpower to go out and enforce it without a complaint.But hey, in the meantime it'll make nanny state bureaucrats feel like they're doing good deeds and fill the city's coffers off the backs of the good landlords at little or no cost to the city, so of course they'll figure out how to push this thing through.
