No multiple dwelling shall be occupied or permitted to be occupied unless the owner, lessee or other person having control thereof, or operating the same, has an occupancy license therefor in effect and unrevoked as hereinafter provided, unless the Planning Commission has given an extension of time for obtaining such license and the extension has not expired. Each license shall expire on March 31, irrespective of the date of its issuance, and shall not be transferable. Whenever the interest of such licensee in the building for the occupancy of which the license was issued ceases such license shall immediately become void. However, upon the death of a licensee, the license shall nevertheless be valid for sixty days from the date of such death in favor of the legal representatives of the licensee, or of the person to whom such multiple dwelling passes by law, but in no case shall such sixty days extend the license beyond March 31. However, the license required by this section shall not be required during the license year, being the period from April 1 through March 31 of the following year, if during such licensing year an occupancy permit has been issued pursuant to the Building Code adopted by the City, but upon the expiration of the year all of the provisions of this section shall be applicable.
