Once the City Council has revoked the rental registration certificate, occupancy of the property is not allowed
until (1) an inspection byNeigYffwrhood Housing and Property Improvement (NHPI) t�as been conducted, (2) the
Director ofNHPI has deternvned the property to be in compliance, and (3) the certificate is renewed. Note:
Renting a property without a certificate is a misdemeanor.
Please call me as soon as possible to arrange a meeting to discuss how to correct this situation before the City
Councii acts to revoke this certificate. Ifall issues are addressed, I will recommend that the revocation be
withdrawn from consideration by the City Council.
