3200-4 b. For Owners with four (4) or more Dwelling Units, the Inspection Report must be dated within the twelve (12) months preceding the application date with at least 25% of the units inspected. When renewal applications require inspections, the units not covered in the previous report shall be inspected with all units to be inspected within four (4) years. Once a licensed property has documented through Inspection Reports that all units have been inspected within the previous four (4) years, a renewal application must only show that each unit has been inspected at least once in the preceding four (4) years. However, the City reserves the right to require a more rapid inspection cycle should a property demonstrate an inordinate amount of violations (50% or more than the average) as compared to the average number of deficiencies per unit existing in other rental properties (more than 4 dwelling units per property) within the city. C. Investigations. Property Managers shall be investigated as required by the laws of the State of Minnesota. D. Changes in Ownership. A license is non-transferable. If there is a change in the Ownership of the Rental Dwelling or Rental Dwelling Unit, a new license is required. E. Changes in the Rental Dwelling or Rental Dwelling Unit. If changes are made in the number or type of units, the Owner shall amend its license. F. License Term. Persons wishing to let Rental Dwellings or Rental Dwelling Units must make an application to the City, provide the information required by this Section and pay the applicable license fee, which will be set by City Council resolution. Licenses are valid for a 2 1 year cycle beginning on October 1 each year. A current licensee who intends to continue letting Rental Dwellings or Rental Dwelling Units shall apply for license renewal before the end of the licensing term. G. License Fee. The application fee shall be determined by the City Council from time to time by Resolution, and shall be paid at the time of application. License fees, as set forth by City Council resolution, shall be due prior to the license expiration date; in the cases of new, unlicensed dwellings, license fees shall be due upon issuance of the certificate of occupancy; in the case of initial licensing, license fees shall be due upon application; in the case of licensing periods of less than one (1) year, license fees may not be prorated. The City Council may provide an exemption to the payment of all or a portion of license fees for Single Family or Multi-Family Licensees that remain free of violations under Section 3200.080 herein.
