It shall be the duty of each owner of a regulated dwelling unit
to notify the Code Enforcement Officer in writing of any change in
ownership of the premises or of the number of regulated rental units
on the premises. It shall also be the duty of the owner to notify
the Code Enforcement Officer in writing of any increase in the number
of occupants in any regulated rental unit or of the changing of a
dwelling unit from owner-occupied to non-owner-occupied, which thereby
transforms the dwelling into a regulated rental unit for purposes
of this part.
If any regulated rental unit is owned by more than one person,
in any form of joint tenancy, as a partnership or otherwise, each
person shall be jointly and severally responsible for the duties imposed
under the terms of this part and shall be severally subject to prosecution
for the violation of this part.
This part shall become effective on May 7, 2015.
