Verified on 2026-08-18 — 1 day ago.

Non-owner-occupied one- and two-family rentals register annually and receive proactive inspection and a Certificate of Rental Compliance every three years; three-or-more-unit buildings require a Certificate of Occupancy inspection.

The city source does not state a renewal cadence for the three-or-more-unit Certificate of Occupancy, so none is inferred.
