Mount Carmel — Ch. 12 Housing § 12-130
Notice of transfer or sale of business
Operative Text
Each person holding a permit issued pursuant to this division shall give notice in writing to the city inspector within 24 hours after having sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of ownership or interest in or control of any rooming house. Such notice shall include the name and address of the person succeeding to the ownership or control of such rooming house.
Under Mount Carmel Ch. 12 Housing § 12-130, whenever a rooming house changes hands — whether through a sale, transfer, or any other disposition of ownership or control — the current permit holder is required to notify the city inspector in writing within 24 hours. That written notice must identify the incoming owner or controller by name and address. The rule ensures the city maintains an up-to-date record of who is responsible for each permitted rooming house at all times.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators holding a rooming house permit under § 12-130 are generally expected to submit written notice to the city inspector promptly — within 24 hours — any time ownership, interest, or control of the property changes hands. A compliant operator ensures that notice includes the full name and address of whoever is taking over. Keeping documentation of when and how that notice was delivered is a common practice among operators managing permit compliance.

Section § 12-130 of Mount Carmel's Housing Code establishes a transparency mechanism that benefits rooming house residents: the outgoing permit holder must notify the city inspector of any ownership or control change within 24 hours, including the new owner's contact information. This means the city should have a current record of who is responsible for the property. Tenants who are uncertain about who holds their rooming house permit can contact the city inspector's office to inquire, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on how this provision may be relevant to their situation.
