  • Following the initial or periodic inspection of a residential rental dwelling unit found to be deteriorated or in the process of deteriorating, and provided that there are no violations of applicable codes and ordinances, or such violations are remedied in a timely manner, the director shall provide to the owner or party in interest of such residential rental dwelling unit an exemption from this chapter for a minimum of four years. For the purposes of this section, timely manner shall be construed to mean less than 90 days after the owner has been given notice of violation. If a residential rental dwelling unit has been issued a certificate of occupancy within the last four years, an exemption shall be granted for a minimum period of four years from the date of the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. If the residential rental dwelling unit becomes in violation of housing, building, plumbing, electrical, fire, health or related codes during the exemption period, the director may revoke the exemption granted by this section.
