Mount Carmel — Ch. 12 Housing § 12-124
Required
Operative Text
No persons shall operate a rooming house unless he holds a valid rooming house permit issued by the city inspector in the name of the operator and for the specific dwelling or dwelling unit.
Section 12-124 of Mount Carmel's Housing Code establishes that operating a rooming house is a permitted activity only when the operator holds a valid, city-issued rooming house permit. The permit must be issued specifically in the operator's name and tied to the particular dwelling or dwelling unit in question. This means neither the permit nor the authorization is transferable to a different person or a different property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Mount Carmel Ch. 12 Housing § 12-124, compliant rooming house operators obtain a valid rooming house permit from the city inspector before beginning operations. The permit must be issued in the individual operator's name and designate the specific dwelling or dwelling unit being operated. Operators who change locations, transfer ownership, or otherwise alter the operation generally ensure that permit status is updated to reflect those changes.

Section 12-124 of Mount Carmel's Housing Code gives tenants a basis to verify that their rooming house is being operated with a valid, city-issued permit in the operator's name for that specific dwelling. If a rooming house appears to be operating without such a permit, tenants may consider contacting the city inspector's office to inquire about permit status. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what options may be available when a landlord is found to be operating without the required authorization.
