(A) BOARDINGHOUSE or ROOMING HOUSE. A residential use consisting of at least one dwelling unit together with more than two rooms that are rented out or designed or intended to be rented but which rooms, individually or collectively, do not constitute separate dwelling units. A BOARDINGHOUSE or ROOMING HOUSE is distinguished from tourist accommodations by its occupation by longer-term residents as opposed to overnight or weekly guests.
(B) Every boardinghouse or rooming house operator engaged in the business of renting any room or equivalent dwelling unit to another person for accommodation shall first apply for and procure from the City Revenue Collector a city license for the privilege of transacting or engaging in such business within the city.
(C) In addition to a privilege license, an inspection fee of $500 is required to ensure that the standards of § 116.03 are met. This fee will be required in addition to any other applicable inspection fees. This inspection fee is required on an annual basis to ensure continued compliance and shall be due and payable in the same manner as prescribed for privilege licenses issued by the city pursuant to this code.
