Mount Carmel — Ch. 12 Housing § 12-129
Display
Operative Text
Each permit issued pursuant to this division shall be displayed at all times in a conspicuous place within the rooming house.
Under Mount Carmel Ch. 12 Housing § 12-129, any permit issued under the rooming house division of the housing code must be posted and kept visible inside the rooming house at all times. The requirement applies continuously — not just at the time of inspection — and the posting location must be conspicuous rather than tucked away. This is a display rule, not a substantive licensing standard, but failure to comply with it is a distinct violation of the code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rooming houses subject to Mount Carmel Ch. 12 Housing § 12-129 generally keep their issued permit mounted or posted in a common area or entry point where it can be readily seen by residents, inspectors, and visitors. Compliant operators treat the display obligation as ongoing, meaning the permit remains posted even after initial inspection. Removing, covering, or storing the permit in a way that makes it inconspicuous would put the property out of compliance with this section.

Under Mount Carmel Ch. 12 Housing § 12-129, residents of a rooming house have an interest in knowing that a valid permit is on display in a conspicuous location within the building at all times. If a permit is absent or hidden, that may indicate a compliance issue worth noting. Tenants who cannot locate a posted permit may consider contacting the local housing or code enforcement office to inquire about the property's permit status, or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
