Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators holding a rooming house permit under ch. 166 § 166-23 are generally expected to prepare a written notice immediately upon completing any sale, transfer, gift, or other disposition of their rooming house. That notice should be delivered to the enforcement officer within 24 hours and must include the full name and address of whoever is taking over ownership or control. Compliant operators typically keep documentation of when and how the notice was transmitted to demonstrate timely compliance.

Section 166-23 of the Johnson City Code creates a transparency mechanism that keeps the enforcement officer informed whenever a rooming house changes hands. If a rooming house is sold or transferred and residents are uncertain whether proper notice was filed, they may contact the local enforcement officer to inquire about the current permit holder's identity. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Johnson City housing rules can help residents understand what options may be available if ownership changes affect their living situation.
