Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 8.08.040, landlords in Revere should track the date they notify the Board of Health and count the five working days that follow. If the Board of Health completes its inspection within that period, compliant operators wait for the outcome before proceeding with a rental. If the five working days pass without an inspection being conducted, the landlord is generally permitted to rent the unit without waiting further.
