1. Any tenant who lives in a housing accommodation for which a removal permit has been granted shall, within 60 days of the date of the grant of the permit or such other time period as shall be established by the Board, be given the right of first refusal to purchase the housing accommodation he/she occupies for substantially the same or more favorable terms and conditions as are being or would be offered to prospective arms length purchasers.
2. Such tenant may exercise a right of first refusal to purchase such housing accommodation by executing a purchase and sales agreement prior to the expiration of 90 days after the date of receiving a copy of the purchase and sales agreement properly executed by the person offering the housing accommodation for sale. Each time the housing is subsequently offered for sale, the tenant then occupying the housing accommodation shall be offered the right of first refusal to purchase as described above in this Section.
(b) Code compliance. At the time that a removal permit is granted the building must be in, and thereafter, remain in, full compliance with Chapter II of the commonwealth’s Sanitary Code, being 105 CMR 410, the commonwealth’s Building Code, being 780 CMR, the Boston Fire Prevention Code and any other applicable municipal code, ordinance or commonwealth law, regulating the conditions or occupancy of housing accommodations. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if, for good cause, the building is not currently in compliance with any of the above codes, ordinances or laws, the removal permit must be conditioned upon the applicant’s agreement to bring the building and/or unit into such compliance within a specific time period determined reasonable by the applicable enforcement agency.
