How does a property owner obtain a certificate of habitability for the rental of an apartment?
The property owner fills out a certificate of habitability request and pays the appropriate fee. An appointment will then be scheduled for a code enforcement officer to visit the premises and inspect for code violations. The apartment must be insubstantial compliance and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors must be in place for the inspector to issue the certificate of habitability. A new certificate of habitability must be obtained every time a new tenant occupies the apartment.
