10-9.5   Implementation.
   The provisions of this Section shall be effective immediately upon passage.
(CBC 1985 10-9.5; Ord. 2002 c. 11)
10-9.6   Severability.
   If any provision of this Section shall be held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such provision shall be considered separately and apart from the remaining provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect.
(CBC 1985 10-9.6; Ord. 2002 c. 11)
10-10   UNIVERSITY ACCOUNTABILITY.
10-10.1   Purpose.
   (A)   Many students live within the campuses of their respective universities and colleges. These students receive the benefit of their school’s security or campus Police services in addition to the city’s Police services. Because the schools know where their on-campus students live, the schools are better positioned to provide the security and regulation enforcement services necessary to protect students and property in these on-campus regions.
   (B)   Many other students, however, live outside the campuses of their respective universities and colleges. When schools do not know where their off-campus students live, it is more difficult to assess and satisfy off-campus security and regulatory enforcement needs. Therefore, it is essential for schools within the city to collect and maintain records of the locally residing off-campus student population to better assist the city in its provision of security and regulatory enforcement services for residents of the city.
(CBC 1985 10-10.1; Ord. 2004 c. 11)
10-10.2   Definitions.
   For the purpose of this Section, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
   CAMPUS. Any real property owned by a school.
   CITY. The City of Boston.
   DIRECTORY. The compilation of names, addresses, telephone numbers, statuses and expected graduation dates gathered by a school in compliance with these Sections.

(CBC 1985 10-10.2; Ord. 2004 c. 11; Ord. 2014 c. 8 § 1)
10-10.3   Collection of Records—Directory.
   (A)   Each and every school domiciled in any part of the city shall collect and maintain a Directory of the names, complete addresses, statuses (i.e., undergraduate or graduate, part-time or full-time), expected graduation dates and telephone numbers of all students enrolled at the school, as well as a list of all properties currently rented by the school for use as student residences under a “master lease” program. The addresses and telephone numbers collected for the directory must reflect where the student actually resides and at what phone number the student can be reached for the period in which the student resides in the city.
   (B)   Each and every school shall collect the required directory information once each school year beginning in the fall semester.
   (C)   Upon collection, all information collected for the directory shall be organized and maintained by the school in such a way that the required information is easily accessible and understandable to any authorized school official. Each and every school shall submit the report as required by this Section to the City Clerk in the format provided by the city.
   (D)   All schools shall be responsible for monitoring this directory for compliance with the Boston Zoning Code’s applicable use regulations with regards to the Code’s definition of the term FAMILY, which provides that a group of five or more persons who are enrolled as full-time undergraduate students at a post secondary educational institution shall not constitute a family. Upon determining that any student’s residence may be in violation of the Code, the school shall notify the student(s) of the Code regulation.

The failure or refusal of a school to forward the report shall be deemed an event of non-compliance with the provisions of these Sections.
