(a) Any person, or other legal entity, who is the owner of a single family dwelling unit, a condominium dwelling unit, or other dwelling unit similar to a condominium dwelling unit, wherein such person, or other legal entity, does not physically reside at that dwelling unit on a full time basis shall be subject to the provisions of this chapter, rules and regulations prescribed pursuant thereto, including, but not limited to, obtaining an occupancy license as required in this chapter, and all laws, statutes, codes, ordinances, rules and regulations applicable to such dwelling unit and the use for which it is intended.
(b) Apartment buildings, wherein the entirety of the building complex is owned by one individual or entity, shall not be subject to the provisions of this chapter.
(Ord. 92-71. Passed 4-20-93; Ord. 2001-47. Passed 8-21-01; Ord. 2004-37. Passed 9-7-04; Ord. 2008-15. Passed 3-4-08; Ord. 2008-61. Passed 12-16-08.)
(a) No single-family dwelling unit or any portion thereof shall be occupied or permitted to be occupied unless the owner (or agent of same), has an occupancy license in effect as herein provided. Each license shall expire two years from the date of the initial inspection, irrespective of the date of its issuance, and shall not be transferable.
(b) Whenever the interest of a licensee in the single-family dwelling unit for the occupancy of which the license was issued ceases, such license shall immediately become void.
(Ord. 92-71. Passed 4-20-93; Ord. 2001-47. Passed 8-21-01; Ord. 2004-37. Passed 9-7-04; Ord. 2008-15. Passed 3-4-08.)
(a) An application for a license required by this chapter shall be in a form approved by Council and shall state the name and address of the applicant and the nature and extent of his or her interest in the single-family dwelling unit for which the license is desired. If the applicant is not the owner of such building, then the application shall also state the name and address of the owner. The application shall further state the location of the single-family dwelling unit for which the license is desired and the number of rooms therein, together with such other information as may be required by the Chief Building Inspector, and such application shall be accompanied with an application fee in the amount of three hundred dollars ($300.00). The owner of the single-family dwelling unit shall re-apply for a license required by this chapter two years from the initial inspection month.
(b) In the event that the initial inspection results in violations which need repairs, the owner of the single-family dwelling unit shall be granted a reasonable time (as determined by the Chief Building Inspector, or his or her designee) to complete the repairs, and contact the Chief Building Inspector to schedule a second inspection of the premises. In the event that the repairs have not been completed at the time of the second inspection, the Chief Building Inspector, or his or her designee, shall determine whether additional time shall be granted to complete the repair. Prior to the expiration date of time period for the additional repair, the applicant shall schedule a third inspection. Prior to the scheduling of the third inspection by the Chief Building Inspector, or his or her designee, the owner of the single-family dwelling unit shall pay a twenty-five dollar ($25.00) fee to the Building Department. In the event that fourth and subsequent inspections are required, each fourth and subsequent inspection shall only be performed after the payment of a fifty dollar ($50.00) fee for such fourth and each subsequent inspection.
