University Park — Part XIV Title Six Housing § 1464-04
Changes of management, use, etc.; new certificates
Operative Text
(a) If there is a change in the resident manager or agent as shown by the certificate of occupancy, the owner shall notify the Commissioner of Code Enforcement and/or his or her designee, in writing, within thirty (30) days of such change, giving the name and address of the new resident manager or agent. (b) Any change in the nature or extent of the use or occupancy shall render the certificate of occupancy null and void upon the happening of such change. No such change is permissible under this Building and Housing Code unless such change has been approved by the Commissioner of Code Enforcement and/or his or her designee pursuant to this Building and Housing Code and unless a new certificate of occupancy, incorporating such change, has been issued.
University Park § 1464-04 establishes two related requirements tied to certificates of occupancy. First, whenever the resident manager or agent listed on a certificate of occupancy changes, the property owner must notify the Commissioner of Code Enforcement in writing within 30 days, providing the new manager's or agent's name and address. Second, any change in how a property is used or occupied automatically voids the existing certificate of occupancy, and no such change is permitted unless the Commissioner of Code Enforcement approves it and issues a new certificate reflecting the change.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 1464-04, compliant property operators maintain accurate certificate-of-occupancy records by promptly submitting written notice to the Commissioner of Code Enforcement whenever a resident manager or agent changes, doing so within the 30-day window the provision specifies. Before altering the nature or extent of a property's use or occupancy, operators generally seek prior approval from the Commissioner and obtain a new certificate of occupancy that incorporates the change. Proceeding with a use change without that approval and updated certificate renders the existing certificate null and void, which can affect the property's legal operating status.

Section § 1464-04 is relevant to tenants because a voided or outdated certificate of occupancy can signal that a property is being used or managed in a way that has not been officially approved. Tenants who believe a property's use has changed without proper authorization, or that management changes were not properly reported, may raise these concerns with the Commissioner of Code Enforcement in University Park. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand how certificate-of-occupancy requirements intersect with habitability standards and other housing protections.
