Targeting good landlord monitoring for compliance with the Housing Act
Considerations
Results Uthiek Assessment: the approach on good landlordism allows us to carry out our legal duty in the right way and this contributes to the value Power relations. This only gives us a signal and the action perspective for enforcerss to explore the situation at the property in question. By doing so, we provide enforcerss with targeted information for enforcement, and increase their freedom of choice and contribute to the value Autonomy. Better and more targeted enforcement of the Good Letting Practices Act contributes to safer and healthier conditions for residents of these houses. In doing so, we contribute to the value Safety and Health. In addition, we know from practice that financially vulnerable residents are often victims of property abusers. With this approach, we protect this target group and contribute to the value Justice.
Human intervention
The algorithm (with direct impact on Utrecht residents and their living environment) only serves as a source of information for an employee, who takes the right follow-up step based on this information and the context of the situation. This principle is included in our Utrecht framework Internal Guidelines for Algorithm Application.
Risk management
The Utrecht data scientists, Information and Process Advisors (IPA) and Decentralised Information Security Officers (DISO) within the Utrecht municipality have a controlling and monitoring role in the application of the algorithm, in addition to the employees directly involved. By doing so, we want to prevent the following risks from occurring:
- data leak by making personal data of Utrecht residents publicly available
- algorithm takes a decision completely independently, without the intervention of an employee and without interpreting the relevant context of the situation
- 'function creep' regarding data when applying the algorithm, causing the algorithm to give a distorted picture of what is going on. This can occur because the same type of data is used when applying the algorithm, and the algorithm uses that as confirmation of what comes out as information

Detect risks of compliance with licensing requirement for explosives precursors by private individuals
Customs
This algorithm helps Customs to select goods for control based on customs declarations and risks. It uses declaration data from companies and considers whether or not there are risks of bringing in raw materials (precursors) or mixtures that can be misused for the illegal manufacture of explosives.Last change on 10th of December 2024, at 9:54 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0- Publication category

For persons whose previous place of residence was temporarily unknown, it was found that the registration in the BRP often does not match the actual situation. The algorithm selects potential high-risk addresses for further address research.Last change on 27th of May 2024, at 11:58 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0- Publication category

- The algorithm is deployed to have the BRP filled as well as possible without errors. The algorithm uses some indicators so that in case of possible problems in the BRP, investigations can be made into the possible errors or problems.Last change on 26th of June 2024, at 19:05 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0
