(a) To determine compliance with the City of Loveland Code of Ordinances, a cause for inspection of the Rental Dwelling Unit(s) and/or Rooming Unit(s) and/or property shall occur once a Rental Registration Application has been filed with the City and/or when a submission of rental registration renewal has been filed; but in no event shall an initial inspection take place less than every twenty-four (24) months from a previous inspection as determined by the City.
(b) An inspection guidelines checklist shall be available to each Owner(s) and/or Operator(s) of a Rental Dwelling Unit(s) and/or Rooming Unit(s) and/or property identifying the criteria for which inspections are to be conducted. Inspections shall be administered by the City's Code Official(s).
(c) Rental Dwelling Unit(s) and/or Rooming Unit(s) and/or property inspection reports shall be submitted to the City. The process for inspections to determine code compliance with the City of Loveland's Code of Ordinances is as follows:

Following the issuance of a Red Card, the Owners and/or Operators of a Rental Dwelling Unit(s) and/or Rooming Unit(s) and/or property shall correct all items indicated on the Red Card.
Once the items on the Red Card have been completed, it shall be the responsibility of the Owners and/or Operators of a Rental Dwelling Unit(s) and/or Rooming Unit(s) and/or property to return the Red Card to the City's Fire Department confirming that the required corrections have been made. Upon receipt of confirmation to the City that the required items have been corrected, a report shall be completed by and filed with the City.
(3) If the required corrections have not been completed within fifteen (15) days of the initial inspection, and no reasonable effort has been made or communicated to do so, the City may seek and impose any and all remedies as provided in Section 1330.07, or applicable state or federal law.
