§ 28-461. Permit.

(a)

It shall be unlawful for any person to own or operate a boarding home within the city limits without a permit issued by the department pursuant to this article.

(b)

Obtaining or holding a permit under this article shall not be interpreted to excuse or relieve a boarding home facility or its owner, operator, or any employee from compliance with state law or other provision of this Code.

(c)

A permit is personal to the owner of the facility for which it is issued and may not be transferred or otherwise assigned. Any change in ownership of the facility will require the filing of a new permit application within ten business days following the effective date of the change. The application shall be subject to the same fees and shall be treated in the same manner in all respects as an original application. Failure to timely file the new application for a permit may result in denial of the permit. If the permit holder for the facility is a corporation, and there is any transfer in the interest of the corporation or of any entity having an interest in the corporation after the permit is issued, the corporation must submit a new permit application within ten business days following the effective date of the change.

(d)

A separate permit shall be required for each boarding home facility.

(e)

Each permit shall be valid for a period of one year and shall expire on the anniversary of its date of issuance, unless sooner renewed, revoked or surrendered. A permit may be renewed by filing an application for renewal with the director not more than 90 days prior to the expiration date of the permit.
