§ 9-3902.1. Non-Resident Landlord Registration Requirement. (1) Registration. Each Non-Resident Landlord shall submit to the Department of Licenses and Inspections, under oath and on forms provided by the Department, the following information for each property subject to licensure: (a) The full name, residence address, and telephone number of the property owner, which shall be accessible to the Department of Licenses and Inspections for enforcement, inspection, and public safety purposes; and (b) The full name, Physical Address, telephone number, and email address of the designated Local Agent; and (c) If different from the telephone numbers previously provided under this Section, the owner shall provide a telephone number that may be used for emergency communications related to the property. (d) Local Agent registration information shall be used by the Department solely for purposes of enforcement, inspection, public safety response, and compliance with this Chapter. Where the Department has issued a notice of unsafe or hazardous conditions that remains unremedied after the time provided in the notice, the Department may provide a tenant of the affected property with the name and email address of the designated Local Agent, solely for purposes of facilitating notice and remediation. (2) Duty to Provide Accurate and Current Information. Failure of a Non-Resident Landlord to provide and maintain accurate information as required herein shall constitute a violation of this Section; provided, however, that no penalty shall be imposed unless the owner has failed to cure the violation within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Department of Licenses and Inspections. A violation shall be deemed cured when the owner submits accurate and verifiable contact information for the owner, and where required, the Local Agent, including the required Physical Address, telephone number, and email address, in compliance with this Section. Any violation subject to this subsection shall be punishable by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars ($500). (3) Coordination. The Department shall ensure that the owner and Local Agent registration information aligns with and updates any property license applications and renewals under Section 9-3902. (4) Administration and Storage of Information. The Department of Licenses and Inspections shall collect and store information submitted pursuant to this Section either as part of the property license application or renewal process through the Department’s existing electronic licensing system, including Eclipse, or within a Department-maintained database used for licensing and enforcement purposes.
