All properties that had violations that were corrected on the first re-inspection will also be eligible for self-certification one year from the initial inspection.

(E) Any property that receives more than one complaint where a violation was confirmed by staff during the self-certification period or the period leading up to the first self certification period will not be eligible for self-certification for the upcoming cycle and will be subject to the renewal inspection fees.
