A. Grounds for suspension or revocation. A rental permit issued under this chapter may be suspended or revoked by the Building Inspector as a result of the occurrence of any of the following: (1) The Building Inspector has reasonable grounds, including based on one or more written complaints, to conclude that there is a material misstatement or omission of material information by an applicant in connection with an application for the applicable rental permit; (2) In the case of any short-term rental permit, the Building Inspector has reasonable grounds, including based one or more written complaints, to conclude that either the applicable dwelling unit that is the subject of such short-term rental permit is no longer an eligible dwelling unit or that any of the conditions applicable to the issuance of such short-term rental permit pursuant to § 130-6C, including, any requirements relating to occupancy or residency, are no longer satisfied; (3) Any owner or owner representative has failed to comply with the provisions set forth in this chapter applicable to any rental unit owned by such owner; or (4) One or more written complaints have been filed with the Building Inspector alleging that a rental property is not being operated in accordance with the provisions set forth in this chapter that are applicable to such rental unit. B. Notice and opportunity to cure. Prior to the effective date of any suspension or revocation of a rental permit, the Building Inspector shall give written notice to the holder of such rental permit identifying the following: (1) the specific grounds or deficiencies giving rise to the proposed action, (2) the evidence or basis supporting the determination (which may include the filing of one or more complaints in respect of the applicable rental unit), (3) that the permit holder has the right to respond in writing or in person within 14 calendar days from the date of such notice and (4) that the permit holder has the right cure any deficiency, provide additional documentation or provide the Building Inspector with an opportunity to inspect the applicable property in order to provide evidence to the Building Inspector that there are insufficient grounds for suspending or revoking the applicable rental permit. C. Determination following response. If the holder of a rental permit timely responds to a notice of suspension or revocation, the Building Inspector shall review any submission or corrective actions taken and, within 30 days issue a final written decision either (i) withdrawing the proposed suspension or revocation if the holder of the rental permit has remedied the deficiency or demonstrated continued compliance or (ii) confirming the suspension or revocation of deficiencies remain unaddressed or the response is insufficient. D. Immediate suspension of rental permit for hazardous conditions. Notwithstanding the provisions above, the Building Inspector may immediately suspend a rental permit without prior notice if continued occupancy of the applicable rental property presents an imminent threat to the health, safety, or welfare of tenants or the general public. In such cases, the holder of the applicable rental permit shall be notified as soon as practicable and shall have the right to request a hearing within 10 calendar days of receipt of such notice. E. Right of appeal. An appeal from any suspension or revocation of a rental permit pursuant to this § 103-14 may be made in accordance with § 103-15 below. F. No new rental permit. If a rental permit is revoked or suspended with respect to any applicable rental property, no application for a new rental permit in respect of such rental property will be accepted for filing until the applicant has remedied the conditions that formed the basis of the revocation to the satisfaction of the Building Inspector. G. Temporary absence exception. A short-term rental permit shall not be suspended, revoked, or deemed in violation of this chapter solely because an owner or resident tenant is temporarily unable to occupy a dwelling unit; provided that: (1) The absence is due to unforeseen and compelling circumstances, including but not limited to: (a) person or family illness or medical treatment, (b) employment-related travel or reassignment, (c) military deployment or (d) natural disasters or other force majeure events beyond the control of such owner or resident tenant. (2) The failure to so occupy a dwelling unit must not be solely for financial reasons, such as the need to generate additional income. (3) The owner of the applicable rental unit must: (a) provide the Building Inspector written notice within 30 days of becoming aware of the event giving rise to the absence from the property and (b) submit reasonable supporting documentation upon request (i.e. a physician's letter, employer documentation o relevant travel orders) in respect of the event giving rise to the absence from the property. (4) This exception shall not extend the validity of a short-term rental permit beyond its stated expiration date, but shall protect the short-term permit from suspension or revocation solely due to a temporary unforeseen absence from the property.
