The owner(s) of a dwelling unit(s) or structure which will be completed and available for occupancy subsequent to January 1st, and which requires Certificates of Rental License and Inspection, shall apply for such certificates as soon as practicable, but in no event shall the unit(s) or structure be occupied in whole or in part until such Certificates have been issued. Failure to apply will be deemed to be a violation of this Building Code and will subject the owner(s) of the unit(s) or structure to the legal action and penalty prescribed herein. No person shall reside in any unit(s) or structure until all required certificates have been issued. The owner(s) of all properties which are offered for rent or lease shall obtain a new Certificate of Rental Inspection each time a new tenant occupies the unit(s) or structure.
