Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 305 § 305-6, property owners and managers who file certificate of occupancy applications are expected to provide accurate and complete information about prospective occupants, including their names, addresses, relationships, and total count. Compliant operators verify occupancy details before submitting applications and correct any errors through proper channels rather than allowing inaccurate information to stand. Maintaining thorough records of occupant information at the time of application supports compliance with this provision.
