(A) Response time. An owner or the local representative, if any, shall be required to respond to and meet with the code official or other city official within four hours of being notified of the need for such meeting due to an emergency situation. If the need for such meeting involves a non-emergency situation, the owner shall be available to meet within 24 hours of having been notified of the need to meet. Any owner who cannot meet these response time obligations shall retain a local representative that can meet these requirements.
(B) Local representative authority. In addition to such other responsibilities and authority an owner grants to their local representative, the local representative shall have full authority to address and deal with emergencies and non-emergencies involving the owner’s one or more rental dwellings. Such authority shall include authorizing:
(1) Maintenance and repair of the owner’s one or more rental dwellings so that they remain in compliance with city codes;
(2) Vacating the tenant(s) from one or more rental dwellings where conditions exist within the rental dwelling that make the rental dwelling either uninhabitable or dangerous and unsafe; and
(3) Vacating the tenant(s) from a rental dwelling where the owner failed to maintain registration of the rental dwelling or where the city revoked the certificate for that rental dwelling.
