All persons applying for a residential rental license and all persons administering, managing or controlling the operation of any rental dwelling unit must, except as otherwise provide by applicable law, attend a Crime-Free Multi-Housing Seminar, administered by the Village Police Department, prior to issuance of the license. The seminar may be attended after application has been submitted and the license will be issued after successful completion. Each licensee shall attend a Seminar every three years. In the event that a new owner acquires the rental dwelling or rooming house for which a license had been issued and/or a new manager is hired, the new owner and/or manager, as the case may be, shall have three months after acquisition or hire to attend the seminar. The Village shall issue a written notice to every person or entity subject to this training requirement who has failed or refused to attend said training. Such persons or entities shall have three months from the date of said notice to comply with the training requirements and attend the seminar. If the training requirements are not satisfied within three months from the date of the notice, such persons or entities shall be subject to a fine of up to $25 per day, with each day after the 90 days provided for in the notice to be considered a separate violation, in addition to any other penalties applicable under this Code, provided that at least one seminar is available within the three month time period after the date of the notice. In addition, an existing license may be suspended or revoked, or an initial license may be denied, for any person or entity that fails or refuses to comply with the training requirements set forth in this section.
