(A) Between 30 and 60 days before the expiration date on the certificate of compliance issued for a rental property, every owner shall apply to the city Inspection Department for the issuance of a new certificate of compliance for that residential rental structure.
(B) Upon receipt of a timely application for issuance or renewal of a certificate of compliance, the city shall inspect the premises before the certificate of compliance expires or is initially issued. Upon failure of the city to conduct an inspection prior to occupancy or expiration of the certificate of compliance, the owner may rent the property until the city has conducted an inspection, and the owner will not be deemed in violation of § 97.09 during that time. If, however, the city's failure to inspect is due to the owner's or operator's action, failure to act or refusal to permit an inspection after reasonable notice of intent to inspect, the owner shall not rent the property without a current certificate of compliance as required by § 97.09.
