(a) In the event there is a change in the resident agent or nonresident agent as shown by the certificate of occupancy, the owner shall notify the Building Inspector in writing within 30 days of such change, giving the name and address of the new resident agent or nonresident agent. Failure to so notify the Building Inspector within the specified time shall constitute a violation of this Housing Code.
(b) In the event there is a change in the ownership of record, the certificate of occupancy issued under the provisions of this Housing Code to the former owner shall become null and void within 30 days of the recorded date of such change of ownership and a new certificate must be obtained by the new owner. Application for such new certificate shall be made not more than 30 days after such change in ownership has occurred on forms supplied by the Building Inspector. A fee of $25 shall be paid upon application for each such new certificate. Such new certificate shall expire on the same date as that of the certificate which it replaces.
(c) Any change in the nature or extent of the use or occupancy as specified on the certificate shall render the certificate of occupancy null and void upon the occurrence of such change. No such change is permissible under this Housing Code unless such change has been approved by the proper city authorities pursuant to this Housing Code, and unless a new certificate of occupancy, incorporating such change, has been issued. Any such change without the approval of the proper city authorities will subject the owner, operator or agent to the penalties provided in this Housing Code.
(d) A fee of $10 per dwelling unit and/or a fee of $100 per business unit shall be paid upon application for each such new certificate. If such change involves the addition of any dwelling units to the number of dwelling units previously authorized, an additional fee of $25 shall be charged for each such additional dwelling unit, regardless of the date authorized. Such new certificate shall expire on the same date as that of the certificate which it replaces.
