(a) Whenever a Responsible Party plans on moving Tenants to a Covered Building, or plans on the Temporary Displacement or Mandatory Internal Transfer of any Tenant, not less than 180 days prior to the planned move or displacement, the Responsible Party shall submit to the Department a relocation assessment checklist and, if there will be Affected Tenants, a relocation plan. When applying for City Funding, a Responsible Party shall submit to the Department its application for City Funding together with its relocation assessment checklist. If there are no Affected Tenants, then this chapter does not require a relocation plan for City Funding.
(b) After receiving a submission required by subsection (a) from a Responsible Party, the Department shall determine whether the Responsible Party’s proposal will result in Affected Tenants. The Department shall reject any submission required by subsection (a) if it determines that there are Affected Tenants and the Responsible Party has not included them in the submission, or if the relocation plan is not in compliance with this chapter.
(c) The Responsible Party may amend its submission to reflect and come into compliance with the Department’s determination. The Responsible Party shall amend and refine the relocation assessment checklist and relocation plan as needed so that those documents remain accurate and up to date.
(d) No City Funding for the project shall be released unless and until the Department approves the relocation assessment checklist and, if required, the relocation plan. The Department shall only approve applications that comply with this chapter.
(e) The relocation plan shall be submitted to and approved by the Department prior to any Affected Tenant receiving notice of relocation. The Responsible Party may not relocate any Affected Tenant until at least 150 days after the Department has approved the relocation plan.
