(a) If there is a change in the resident agent or nonresident agent as shown by the certificate of occupancy, the owner shall notify the Director of Buildings, in writing, within thirty days of such change, giving the name and address of the new resident agent or nonresident agent. Failure to notify the Director of Buildings within the specified time shall constitute a violation of this Housing Code.
(b) If there is a change in the ownership of record, the certificate of occupancy issued to the former owner shall become void within thirty days of the recorded date of such change of ownership and a new certificate of occupancy shall be obtained by the new owner. An application for the new certificate of occupancy shall be made on forms supplied by the Director of Buildings not more than thirty days after such change in ownership has occurred. A fee of three dollars ($3.00) shall be paid upon application for each new certificate. The 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 of occupancy shall render the certificate of occupancy void upon the happening 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 penalty in Section 1387.99.
A fee of three dollars ($3.00) shall be paid upon application for each new certificate. If such change involves the addition of any dwelling unit to the number of dwelling units previously authorized, an additional fee of five dollars ($5.00) shall be charged for each such additional dwelling unit, regardless of the date authorized. A new certificate shall expire on the same date as that of the certificate which it replaces.
