of a property shall be responsible for complying with this section
where such property is occupied by such owner or is unoccupied; that
the tenant or occupant thereof shall be responsible where such property
is occupied by such tenant or occupant only; and that the owner thereof
shall be responsible where the property is a multiple-business or
