(A) Notice of action. If the City Administrator or designee denies the issuance of a registration, or suspends, or revokes a registration, or imposes civil penalties as prescribed in this chapter, the City Administrator or designee shall send to the applicant, or registration holder, by certified mail, return receipt requested, written notice of the action, and the right to an appeal. Appeals shall be heard as set forth in §§ 33.45 through 33.47 of this code.
(B) Default. If the applicant or registration holder has been provided written notice of the denial, nonrenewal, or violation and if no request for a hearing is filed within the ten-day period, then the denial under § 117.04 of this chapter or civil penalty or revocation imposed in § 117.10 of this chapter shall take immediate effect by default. The City Administrator or designee shall mail notice of the denial, fine, suspension, or revocation to the applicant or registration holder. The City Administrator shall investigate compliance with the denial or revocation.
(C) Continuing obligations; penalty. Revocation, suspension or nonrenewal of a registration shall not excuse the owner/registration holder from compliance with all terms of this section, this code, and state laws for as long as any units in the facility are occupied. Failure to comply with all terms of this chapter during the term of revocation, suspension or nonrenewal is a misdemeanor and grounds for extension of the term of such revocation or suspension or continuation of nonrenewal, or for a decision not to reinstate the registration, notwithstanding any limitations on the period of suspension, revocation or nonrenewal specified in the City Council’s written decision.
(D) New registrations prohibited. A person who has a rental registration revoked may not receive a rental registration for another property within the city for a period of one-year from the date of revocation. The person may continue to operate other currently registered rental properties if the properties are maintained in compliance with city codes and other applicable regulations.
