If a rental dwelling has been disqualified because of an owner's failure to correct a code violation, a hearing officer may extend the discount to an otherwise qualifying landlord if the hearing officer finds that:
A. All outstanding code violations have now been corrected; and
B. Either:
1. Good cause existed for the failure to correct the violations in a timely manner; or
2. It has been determined that the current landlord could not reasonably be held responsible for the failure to correct. (Eff. 9-22-2016)
