1 Section 907.12. Rental Appeals Board. The Rental Appeals Board is hereby designated to act as an 2 advisory body. The Board shall consist of the Board of the Roseville HRA. The Board shall hear appeals 3 arising from a correction order and make recommendations to the City Council to affirm, modify or 4 reverse, in whole or in part, such order. This Board shall also review and approve administrative policies 5 and procedures pursuant to this ordinance, and regularly review and make such recommendations, as the 6 Board deems reasonable and necessary to the City Council as to the annual schedules of fees and 7 penalties required under this Title. 8 9 Section 907.13. Appeal Process. When it is alleged by any person to whom a correction order is 10 directed that such order is based upon erroneous interpretation of the applicable rules, standards, statutes 11 or ordinance or mistake in fact, such person may appeal the correction order to the Rental Appeals Board. 12 13 Such appeal must be in writing, must specify the grounds for the appeal, must be accompanied by any 14 filing fee set by Council resolution, and must be filed within five (5) business days after service of the 15 correction order. Upon receipt of the written appeal, the HRA shall set a date for a hearing and give the 16 appellant at least five (5) days prior written notice of the date, time and place of the hearing. By mutual 17 agreement between the appellant and the HRA Director, the five (5) day notice may be waived. 18 19 The appellant shall have the right to appear and be represented by counsel. The Rental Appeals Board 20 shall hear and consider the matter within thirty-days (30) of the filing of an appeal. The filing of an 21 appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from unless the enforcement officer 22 certifies that such a stay would cause imminent peril to life, health, or property. 23 24 The Rental Appeals Board shall issue its recommendation to the City Council and the appellant in writing 25 within thirty-days (30) after the hearing. The City Council shall thereafter affirm, modify or reverse the 26 correction order upon such terms as the City Council deems necessary to accomplish the purposes of this 27 ordinance. A copy of the decision shall be mailed to the appellant. 28 29 Section 907.14. Authority. Nothing in this Section shall prevent the City from taking action under any 30 applicable rule, standard, statute or ordinance for violations thereof to seek either injunctive relief or 31 criminal prosecution for such violations as therein provided. Nothing contained in this Section shall 32 prevent the City from seeking injunctive relief against a property owner or designated agent who fails to 33 comply with the terms and conditions of this Section on registration and licensing including an order 34 prohibiting the occupancy of such rental units until violations of this Section have been remedied by the 35 property owner or designated agent. COMMENT: SHOULD THIS BE THE CITY OR HRA 36 REFERENCE? 37 38 Section 907.15. Posting. Every licensee of residential rental property shall conspicuously post a 39 receipted copy of the current license (in a frame with transparent cover) in such a manner so as to be 40 easily viewed and readable at or near the front entrance of the building for which it was issued. 41 42 Section 907.16. Inspection Access. Property owners and their agents shall permit, during regular 43 business hours, the enforcement officer to inspect all premises governed by this Section to determine if 44 the building is operated as a rental property and/or to determine compliance with the provisions of this 45 section, and shall fully cooperate with such inspections. The property owners or their agents shall make 46 reasonable efforts to notify tenants of planned inspections of their rental units to the extent required by 47 state law. 48 4
