No. A permit is only required for individual units or buildings where a problem has been identified, and that problem has not been resolved within the allotted period of time or where a pattern of repeat violations is established. PROP applies to rental properties only (including 20 plus apartment complexes) and does not apply to rooming houses, rest homes or hotels.
