Chapter 125 PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE.


Section 125-12 TEMPORARY WAIVER OF COMPLIANCE.

  1. A temporary waiver of Compliance Certificate may be    issued for any dwelling or dwelling unit that is    inspected pursuant to this article and fails to comply with regulations set forth in the Property Maintenance Code. Such temporary waiver of Compliance Certificate may be issued only upon a determination by the Code Official that:

1.    The work necessary to bring the dwelling or dwelling unit into compliance with the Property Maintenance Code, can be reasonably undertaken and completed while the premises are occupied without endangering the safety of the occupants of the property, or subjecting the occupants to any conditions rendering the dwelling or dwelling unit uninhabitable; and

2.    The dwelling or dwelling unit can be brought into compliance with all applicable building code requirements within the period of time determined by the Code Official to be appropriate to complete the repairs needed, but in no case longer than six (6) months.

B. A Temporary Waiver of Compliance Certificate shall authorize the occupancy of the dwelling or dwelling unit for such period of time as is reasonably necessary to remedy or correct all defects or violations by reason of which the Certificate of Compliance was refused. Every Temporary Waiver of Compliance Certificate shall set forth the period of time for which temporary occupancy is authorized, such period of time not to exceed six (6) months. The failure of the owner, managing agent or tenant to complete all corrections within the specified period of time shall constitute a violation of this article.
