(A) No certificate of registration will be issued or renewed for an applicant unless and until the applicant has first designated an agent for the receipt of service of complaints for violations of any city code and for service of process when the applicant is absent from the city for 30 or more days. The designation must be made in writing and accompany each application form.
(B) A current and enforceable certificate of registration must be displayed in a conspicuous place within the common areas of the multi-family dwelling structure at all times. Every owner or landlord holding a certificate of registration must give notice in writing to the Community Development Director within ten days of closing on a transaction that conveys legal title, in whole or in part, to another party. The notice must include the name and address of the person succeeding to the ownership or control of the multi- family dwelling structure.
(C) Certificates of registration in no way warrant or guarantee the condition of the multi-family dwelling structure or any individual dwelling unit and the city will have no responsibility for any claim arising out of the multi-family dwelling structure or the condition thereof. Each certificate of registration will have the following statement printed on its face:
The holder of this certificate of registration acknowledges and agrees that the city is not and will not be, in any way, liable for any damages or injuries that may be sustained as a result of the city’s inspection of these premises and that the city’s inspection and approval of these premises does not, and will not, in any way, be deemed to insure the holder of this certificate of registration against any damage or injury of any kind and at any time.
