(A) All registration certificates shall expire two years after date of issuance and must be renewed upon the expiration of the two-year term. All information required by § 115.04(C) of this chapter must be submitted at the time of renewal. Whenever the applicant certifies that no change has been made in a registered dwelling unit, and the registered unit has been inspected within the preceding 12 months, a renewal registration certificate may be issued without reinspection by the Fire Chief; provided, the owner certifies that the units are in compliance with this code, including any applicable provisions of the zoning, building, fire safety or health ordinances.
(B) Every person who transfers title to property registered under this section shall provide the Fire Chief with the name, residence address and telephone number of the new owner, and date of the transfer of title within ten days of the date of such transfer. Within 30 days of the date of such transfer, the new owner shall apply for a new registration certificate. In the case of a contract for deed the purchaser shall be deemed to be the owner of the property for purposes of this section and shall be required to apply for a rental registration certificate in his or her name. The date on the contract for deed shall be deemed to be the date the purchaser becomes the “owner” for purposes of this section.
(C) Registration certificates may not be transferred or assigned.
