The owners of each dwelling listed herein will be subject to
the following registration requirements and fees:
A.
Each person who allows a dwelling to be occupied by a person or persons
other than the owner of the dwelling, and where this action by the
owner has occurred for a period in excess of one year, shall be required
to annually file with the Code Official rental unit registration.
A.
The Code
Enforcement Officer or designated representative shall inspect each
dwelling unit once every two years following the filing and payment
of the registration fee, at the time of sale of the premises, and
upon a change in tenant in the regulated rental unit. These periodic
inspections shall occur notwithstanding more frequent inspections
which may be required in the investigation of complaints regarding
the dwelling.
B.
Inspection, issuance. The Code Enforcement Officer or designated
representative shall, upon receipt of an application for a license,
inspect the rental dwelling, and, in the event that such rental dwelling
is in compliance with this Code, the license applied for shall be
issued.
C.
Noncompliance. In the event the rental dwelling is not in compliance
with this Property Maintenance Code, the Code Enforcement Officer
shall notify the applicant, in writing, and shall specify the noncompliance
with this Property Maintenance Code. Upon completion of the changes,
the Code Enforcement Officer shall issue the license applied for.
A.
Every
license shall be displayed in a conspicuous place within the multifamily
dwelling.
B.
License duration. Every rental unit dwelling license shall remain
in force for two years from the date of issuance.
C.
License transfers. No license required by this chapter shall be transferable
unless the new operator shall give notice, in writing, to the Code
Enforcement Officer within 10 days after the transfer in any manner
of ownership or control of the interest in such multifamily dwelling.
Such notice shall include the name and address of the person succeeding
to the ownership or control.
A.
Whenever the Code Enforcement Officer determines that there exists
a violation of the Property Maintenance Code, it shall serve written
notice upon the owner or manager and may notify the owner or manager,
in writing, that unless the notice of violation is complied with,
the rental dwelling license may be revoked. After the expiration of
the time for compliance as stated on the notice of violation, a reinspection
shall be made to determine compliance. If the violation has not been
corrected and no appeal is pending, the Code Enforcement Officer may
revoke the multifamily dwelling license and, in such event, shall
serve written notice upon the owner or manager of such action.
B.
Appeal. Any person whose rental dwelling license has been revoked,
or whose application for license to operate a multifamily dwelling
has been denied, may appeal to the Board within the 30 days of receipt
of the revocation or license denial notification.
No person shall operate a rooming house, dormitory or hotel
unless he has first obtained from the Code Enforcement Officer a license
to operate such rooming house, dormitory or hotel.
A.
Compliance with code. The Code Enforcement Officer shall not issue
a license unless the rooming house, dormitory or hotel for which the
license is required is in compliance with the Property Maintenance
Code.
