The inspection required by this section shall be an inspection of the exterior and public areas of the building only and shall not include the inspection of the interior of any dwelling unit. The owner will be provided with an inspection report describing any condition which constitutes a violation of any applicable law or regulation, and shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to correct any such conditions. In the event that more than two follow-up inspections are required to determine compliance, the applicant shall pay an additional noncompliance inspection service charge of $100 for each additional inspection. Payment must be made in full prior to issuance of the license. Inspections pursuant to this section shall not be required for single family homes or rental properties with two or fewer units.
