(a) In the event that there is a change in the resident owner or agent or non-resident owner or agent shown on the Rental License/Certificate of Occupancy, the owner shall notify the Building Official, in writing, within thirty (30) days from such change, giving the name and address of the new resident owner or agent or non-resident owner or agent. Failure to so notify the Building Official within the specified time shall constitute a violation of this Chapter and will require the new owner or agent to reapply for a new Rental License/Certificate of Occupancy.
(b) In the event there is a change in ownership of record, the Rental License/Certificate of Occupancy issued under the provisions of this Chapter to the former owner shall be null and void. A new Rental License/Certificate of Occupancy shall be applied for not more than thirty (30) days after such change in ownership has occurred. Application forms shall be obtained from the Building Official. Such new Certificate shall expire on the same date as that of the Certificate which it replaced. There shall be no fee charged for said change, if made within said prescribed time limit.
(c) Any change in the nature or extent of the use of occupancy as specified in the Rental License/Certificate of Occupancy shall render the Rental License/Certificate of Occupancy null and void upon the happening of such change. No such change is permissible under this Chapter unless such change has been approved by the proper City authorities, and unless a new Rental License/Certificate of Occupancy incorporating such change has been issued. Any such change without the approval of the proper City authorities will subject the owner, opera-tor or agency to the penalties provided in Section 1371.99 hereof. The new Certificate shall expire on the same date as that of the Certificate which it replaces.
