Currently, the Code requires the City to inspect all multiple family buildings including owner- occupied townhouses and condominiums and owner-occupied units. At the May work session, Council directed staff to draft an ordinance which would remove the requirements of registration from owner-occupied units and include all multiple family rental units. • "Multiple Dwelling" in the Housing Code is defined as "a building or portion thereof containing two(2) or more units." By this definition, all duplexes,townhouses and condominiums would be required to be inspected and registered annually regardless of whether they were owner-occupied or not. In order to limit the inspections and registration to only those units which are renter-occupied, the Ordinance states that the "Multiple Dwelling" shall be defined to include the definitions of "Dwelling, Multiple" and"Dwelling, Two-Family" listed in Sections 1102.36 and 1102.39 in the Zoning Code (see Attachment 2). By adding these definitions to the registration requirements, the Ordinance would include all rental units in buildings with two or more units, but exclude the owner-occupied townhouses, condominiums and duplex units. The Ordinance also states that the registration and inspections requirements apply only to non owner-occupied units. •
