Every owner of a rental unit (whether as fee owner or contract purchaser) shall be required to furnish to the city the new owner’s name, address, and phone number before taking possession of the rental property upon closing of the transaction. No registration fee shall be required of the new owner during the three year period in which possession takes place, provided that the previous owner has paid all registration fees and has complied with all requirements of this subchapter and any violations of zoning, fire, or other safety codes of the city. If any change in the type of occupancy as originally registered is contemplated by the new owner, a new registration application will be required.
