B. The Village shall collect an annual fee for each registration form filed with the Code Enforcement Official in the amount set annually by resolution of the Board of Trustees. C. After the inspection, the application made by the owner shall contain verification on the part of the Code Enforcement Official that the property meets the requirements of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code (the Uniform Code), as well as any other laws, rules and regulations promulgated by any local, state or federal agency. D. Annual rental property inspection required. (1) An approved rental property registration form shall be valid for one year from the date issued. (2) For a registration to be valid, it must be accompanied by a successful annual inspection report. Such inspection shall follow the following procedure: (a) Prior to any inspection, the applicant must pay a registration fee as described above. (b) The Code Enforcement Official shall inspect the property, providing the property owner and tenants with a copy of the written inspection report. (c) If a property owner knowingly rents a property found physically lacking one or more of the following: running water, heat or heat source, electricity, sanitary facilities, windows in sleeping spaces, cooking facilities and/or smoke/carbon monoxide detector(s) or there is the presence of black mold, the property may not be rented until remedied and a reinspection completed. If there are current tenants, they must be vacated and placed in temporary housing as per § 129-7E . (d) If it is feasible for the owner to remedy the violation during the inspection in which it is identified, or within 24 hours thereof, reasonable effort will be made by the Code Enforcement Official to remain or return accordingly, to avoid unreasonable delay in compliance. Where such remedy is accomplished, no violation shall be issued. E. Temporary housing. (1) If a rental property is found not to be registered and/or upon inspection been denied, suspended or revoked for any reason set forth in Subsection D(2)(c) of this section unrelated to force majeure or the acts, omissions or negligence of tenant or tenant's invitees, the property owner shall provide, at owner's expense, temporary housing or the expense thereof for all displaced tenants, unless otherwise agreed to by tenant until: (a) Said tenant's lease expires; (b) A certificate of occupancy and a rental registration is issued, whichever is earliest; or (c) The displaced tenant(s) find alternate housing. (2) Such temporary housing shall be provided at the nearest feasible geographical location and rental rate. F. Tenant list. The property owner shall certify or affirm that he or she has the name, address and contact information for each tenant or subtenant occupying each dwelling unit. Any property owner who fails to maintain said information shall be guilty of a violation of this chapter, which is hereby declared to be a violation, and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine not to exceed the amount set forth in the schedule of penalties, fees and fines maintained by the Village per tenant or subtenant.
