Mount Carmel — Ch. 12 Housing § 12-128
Transferability
Operative Text
No permit issued pursuant to this division shall be transferable.
Under Mount Carmel Ch. 12 Housing § 12-128, any permit issued under this division of the housing code is tied exclusively to the person or entity to whom it was originally issued. The permit cannot be passed along, sold, or otherwise transferred to another party. This means that a change in ownership, management, or occupancy does not carry the permit forward automatically.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 12-128, a compliant property owner or manager understands that housing permits issued under this division are non-transferable and personal to the original holder. When a property changes hands or management responsibilities shift, operators generally ensure that the incoming owner or manager obtains their own permit rather than assuming the existing one remains valid. Keeping records of permit issuance and renewal under the correct legal entity helps avoid compliance gaps during transitions.

Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Mount Carmel's housing code can help explain what options may be available in such a situation.
