Spring Park Code of Ordinances ch. 12, art.

The application must include detailed information about the property and its current occupants, such as unit sizes, bedroom counts, recent rent amounts, occupancy figures, and recent vacancy rates. The owner must also certify that tenants have been properly notified of the intended conversion as required by § 12-135.

Under Spring Park Code of Ordinances ch. 12, art. III § 12-137, operators and owners pursuing a conversion to common interest community status generally ensure that all required registration and license application forms are submitted to the city on time, using the forms the city provides and paying the fee set by the council.

Spring Park Code of Ordinances ch. 12, art. III § 12-137 requires that your building's owner file a detailed registration and license application with the city before a conversion to common interest community status can proceed, and that application must reflect accurate information about your unit, including rent history and occupancy. Tenants can review whether the owner has certified compliance with the notice requirements of § 12-135, since that certification is a mandatory component of the application. If you believe the application contains inaccurate information or that proper notice was not given, tenant-rights organizations or the city's relevant office can be consulted to understand what options may be available.
