violation of any building standards adopted by a local entity by
ordinance or resolution, including, but not limited to, local health,
fire, building, or safety ordinances or resolutions, or any other
ordinance or resolution relating to the health and safety of
occupants of buildings, by maintaining a substandard building, as
specified in Section 17920.3 of the Health and Safety Code, the
court, or judge thereof, in making an order granting probation, in
addition to any other orders, may order the defendant placed under
house confinement, or may order the defendant to serve both a term of
imprisonment in the county jail and to be placed under house
confinement.

the Civil Code who are not excluded by subdivision (b) of that
section.
   (b) If the court orders a defendant to serve all or part of his or
her sentence under house confinement, pursuant to subdivision (a),
he or she may also be ordered to pay the cost of having a police
officer or guard stand guard outside the area in which the defendant
has been confined under house confinement if it has been determined
that the defendant is able to pay these costs.
   (c) As used in this section, "house confinement" means confinement
to a residence or location designated by the court and specified in
the probation order.
