§ 152.86 ROOMING HOUSE PERMIT.
   No person shall operate a rooming house unless he holds a valid rooming house permit issued by the Director of Health in the name of the operator and for the specific dwelling or dwelling unit. The operator shall apply to the Director of Health for the permit, which shall be issued by the Director of Health upon compliance by the operator with the applicable provisions of the chapter and of any rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto. This permit shall be displayed in a conspicuous place within the rooming house at all times. The permit shall be nontransferable. Every person holding such a permit shall give notice in writing to the Director of Health within 24 hours after having sold, transferred, given away, or otherwise disposed of ownership of, interest in, or control of the rooming house. The notice shall include the name and address of the person succeeding to the ownership or control of the rooming house. Every rooming house permit shall expire at the end of one year following its date of issuance, unless sooner suspended or revoked as hereinafter provided. For every permit issued hereunder and for each annual renewal, there shall be paid to the health department, for the use of the town, a permit fee of $50 by each rooming house.
