Saint James Rental Housing § 92.03 means that any dwelling unit offered for rent in Saint James must pass an inspection for fire and housing code compliance before a rental license can be legally issued. Tenants who have concerns about whether their unit was properly licensed and inspected may contact the City Clerk-Treasurer's office or the Building Official to inquire about the unit's license status. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what options may be available when a unit appears to be operating without a valid rental license.
