Under § 1030.08, operators of rental properties in Stewartville are expected to maintain continuous compliance with all provisions of Chapter 10 and to hold a valid registration certificate before allowing any dwelling, apartment, or rooming unit to be occupied. Compliant operators generally ensure their certificate is current and renewed on time, and they address any code violations promptly to avoid providing grounds for a suspension or revocation proceeding. If the City Council identifies potential grounds for action, it initiates the process by resolution and schedules a hearing, so maintaining thorough records of compliance and communications with the City is a practice commonly associated with well-managed rental operations.
