A. Information Required: Application for license shall be made on forms provided by the city, which shall contain, at a minimum, the following information:
1. The location and address of all buildings containing rental dwellings, which are owned, operated or maintained by the applicant;
2. The number of rental dwelling units in each building;

Separate forms shall be provided for the regulatory business license required for multiple-family dwellings and the nonregulatory business license required for a rental dwelling containing two (2) or fewer rental dwellings per building.
B. Affidavit Of Compliance: The applicant for a regulatory business license for a multiple-family rental dwelling may provide, as part of the application, a written affidavit, signed by the applicant, verifying compliance with applicable codes and ordinances and that the premises are reasonably safe for occupancy as residential dwellings, which affidavit shall be made on a form approved by the business license coordinator. Such self-verification of compliance may be accepted by the business license coordinator as meeting the investigation and inspection requirements of section 5-10-5 of this chapter; provided, that self-verification shall not be sufficient if the premises have been found in violation of such applicable codes and ordinances within the preceding twelve (12) month period.

A. Referral; Investigation: The original application for a multiple-family rental dwelling shall be referred to the building official and fire marshal and to the Weber-Morgan health department. Each of which shall, within ten (10) days after receiving such application, make an investigation and inspection of the proposed licensed premises and shall report in writing to the business license coordinator whether the premises to be licensed meet applicable codes and ordinances and the same are reasonably safe for occupancy as residential dwellings.
B. Subsequent Inspections: If the city performs an inspection of a multiple-family rental dwelling under the provisions of this section and approves it for licensing, the city shall not inspect that multiple-family rental dwelling during the next thirty six (36) months, under authority of the provisions of this chapter, unless the city has reasonable cause to believe that a condition in the multiple-family rental dwelling is in violation of an applicable law or ordinance. The above restriction shall not apply to self-verifications of compliance as permitted under section 5-10-3 of this chapter.

If a code violation is determined to exist in a building licensed for two (2) or fewer rental dwelling units, the violation shall not be cause for denial, suspension or revocation of the business license required herein. Enforcement actions respecting such violations shall be taken independently of any licensing action. Issuance of a license shall not indicate compliance with other city ordinances.
