Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 8.08.060, the certificate of fitness status for each unit a property owner manages is publicly accessible information. Compliant operators generally maintain awareness that prospective tenants, neighbors, or other interested parties may look up whether a certificate of fitness has been issued by the Revere Board of Health for any given unit. Keeping units in certified condition is consistent with operating transparently in a jurisdiction where this status is open to public scrutiny.
