The application for a dwelling unit rental license will be reviewed by the city administrator. The city administrator may conduct inspections of the rental dwelling units to determine the compliance with the applicable provisions of this code.
A. License Suspension Or Revocation, Or Refusal To Renew: A dwelling unit rental license is subject to suspension or revocation by the city council, or the city may refuse to renew a license that expires, for the reasons specified herein. Prior to suspension, revocation, the owner shall be notified in writing at least five (5) days prior to the city council's consideration of such action. In the event that a dwelling unit rental license is suspended or revoked by the city council, or a renewal application is denied, it shall be unlawful for the owner to thereafter permit any new occupancies for vacant, or thereafter vacated dwelling units, until the dwelling unit rental license has been reissued. Issuance of a new dwelling unit rental license shall be made in the manner provided in section 3-5-3 of this chapter for obtaining an initial license. A dwelling unit rental license may be suspended or revoked, or renewal may be refused, for any of the following reasons:
1. Failure of owner or its agent to operate or maintain the dwelling unit in compliance with the provisions of the city's regulations.
2. The activities of the owner or tenants of the rental unit create or have created a danger to the public health, safety or welfare.
3. The owner or tenants of the rental unit occupy and/or operate the unit in a manner that permits conditions that injure, annoy, or endanger the safety, health, morals, comfort and repose of any member of the public. (Ord. 407, 4-4-2006)
