§ 19-246. Duties of licensee.

Every holder of a rental dwelling license shall:

(1)

Promptly notify the license administrator or his designee in writing of any change of information contained in the last license application filed.

(2)

Maintain a current register of all tenants and other persons with a lawful right of occupancy to a dwelling unit within the building. The register shall be kept current at all times, and the license administrator or his designee shall be promptly notified in writing of any change in occupancy or the register. The licensee shall designate the person who has possession of the register. The register shall be available for inspection by the public officer or his authorized representatives 30 days after the public officer has caused to be filed a complaint for violations of any applicable ordinance or code relating to property.

(3)

The owner of any dwelling which is required to be licensed by this chapter shall, prior to the time of sale of said dwelling, notify the buyer in writing of all unabated orders or violations issued by the department of inspections pertaining to said dwellings, as well as the requirement of law that said dwelling, upon acquisition by a new owner, must be licensed with the city licensing administrator or his designee. A copy of the notification shall be mailed to the public officer within five days of furnishing the notification to the buyer. If the dwelling is owned by a corporation, an officer of said corporation shall carry out the notification required by this section. If the property is owned by more than one person, a notification by one of the owners shall satisfy this section. For purposes of this section, "time of sale" shall be construed to mean when a written purchase agreement is executed by the buyer or, in the absence of a purchase agreement, upon the execution of any document providing for the conveyance of a dwelling required to be licensed.
