Page 1 of 4 CHAPTER X: New Brighton Multi- Family Building Licensing Process Per City Code Chapter 15, Article 3, no person shall be allowed to occupy or rent a multi-family dwelling unless a license for such has been granted by the City. This Chapter outlines the process staff will follow on a yearly basis to complete the licensing process, and the procedures we will follow if/when a property falls into provisional status. In General: • Each multi-family building with three (3) or more rental dwelling units shall obtain a license before ANY unit in the building or complex is rented out. • Regular licenses will be issued for a period of one year, and provisional licenses will be issued for a period of six months. • All units, regardless of their initial expiration date, are required to renew their license during the City’s annual renewal period (Jan 1 through Feb 28th). Applications for renewal are due by the end of the last business day prior to January 15th of any given year. Early applications are encouraged and preferred. Renewal applications received after the deadline will be subject to late fees as required by code. • Renewal applications will be processed during the annual renewal period for the following year’s license. Building owners will not be penalized if City schedules dictate that physical inspections are delayed until the subsequent licensing year. Applications: • Applications can only be accepted from the owner of a building, an officer of the corporation that owns the building, or a partner if the building is owned by a partnership. • First-time license holders (including new owners of existing buildings) will be required to fill out a NEW Rental license application form. This form requires all detailed information called for by City Code. License renewal thereafter can be completed via the Rental License RENEWAL form. Application Review: • Applications are to be reviewed as they are received. An application must include all required information and signatures before it will be deemed complete. Applications not “complete” prior to the application deadline will be subject to a late fee. • Once an application is complete, staff is to contact the property manager and schedule a date and time for inspections to occur. Inspections can be scheduled anytime between January 2nd and the last day of February. If necessary, inspections can also be scheduled into March.
