A. Every owner of a rental property, as defined above, shall file with the Registry Authority, within 90 days after the adoption of this chapter, a landlord registration statement on forms to be supplied by the Registry Authority, containing the following information: (1) Property description: a description of the premises, including address, number of units, number of floors, total number of bedrooms, whether the units are rented or leased, the name listed on the property deed, and any other identifying information as requested by the Registry Authority. (2) Owner information: the owner's name, physical address (P.O. box is not acceptable), mailing address, and primary and secondary voice telephone numbers. If available, a fax number and/or an e-mail address may be provided. (3) Designation of managing agent. If a managing agent is required by § 177-6 , then the owner shall provide the following information: the name, business address, business telephone number, and fax number of the managing agent. (4) Insurance information: the name, address, and business telephone number of the insurance provider, along with a copy of the insurance policy. B. The owner shall be obligated, at all times, to keep this information updated, and when there is a change in any of the requested items (ownership, managing agent, insurance coverage, etc.), the owner shall update the information by amending the landlord registration statement within 90 days from the date of any such change. C. Upon completion, execution and submission of the landlord registration statement as aforesaid, said registration shall be reviewed by the Registry Authority or their its designee for adequacy. Should the Registry Authority and/or its designee determine that said application is incomplete for any reason, said application shall be marked "rejected" and returned to the filer. A rejected application shall not be deemed compliant with the requirements of this article. D. Where, after filing any landlord registration statement in relation to any rental property under the applicable provisions of this article, the owner of such property shall have granted or transferred his/her right, title or interest therein or in any part thereof, the new owner shall file a new landlord registration statement with the Registry Authority within 90 days after such grant or transfer. E. Any designation of the managing agent made pursuant to the applicable provisions of this section shall cease to be effective if such agent shall die or be judicially declared incompetent. An owner may terminate such designation by filing with the Registry Authority a sworn written statement designating a new managing agent made in conformity with the provisions previously cited. F. The landlord registration statement shall be signed by the owner, or if such owner is a corporation, by an officer thereof, or if such owner is a partnership, by a partner thereof, and said statements must be sworn to under the penalties of perjury. G. If a managing agent is designated pursuant to the applicable provisions of this section, the landlord registration statement shall also be signed by said managing agent. H. Any such landlord registration statement or designation of a managing agent shall be deemed prima facie proof of the statement therein contained, in any criminal or civil prosecution instituted by the City or by any proper prosecutorial agency against the owner or managing agent of a rental property.
