It shall be the duty of each owner of a regulated rental 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 change in the number and/or identity 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.

The provisions of this Part are severable, and if any provision of this Part is held to be illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and be construed without regard to the illegal or unenforceable provision.
