Rental Housing Inspection Program RHIP (California)

 I own a fourplex in Sacramento. Just a week ago I had an inspection done from RHIP.
two officers dressed as SWAT team with bulletproof vests visited my property and checked if my property is in good condition.
since I did major remodeling one year ago, they had minor remarks, (but it still costed me $800 for their visit),
here is my thoughts video:

to be honest I'd rather pass a class where I can inspect my property myself. Way cheaper.
actual repairs cost: $100
inspection program bureaucracy costed me : $1200+ (including retro-fit window permits)

the only good thing, officers were accessible to email conversation where i exchanged photos and received feedback on my improvements before re-inspection.

They just passed one of those in San Luis Obispo where I'm from. It has been met with lots of protests and an outcry from landlords and people in general. How long has your RHIP been in place?
