B. Which is intermittently occupied by persons with legal right of entry, but exhibits in the opinion of the Building Inspector dilapidated walls, roof, or doors which fail to prevent the entry of a trespasser for a period of more than seven (7 days).

Section 3. Registration.

A. Prior to, or not more than seven (7) days after a Street Storefront becomes Vacant, as defined herein, the owner(s) must register the vacancy with the Department of Planning and Community Development and the Building Inspector on forms agreed upon and provided by such departments. All registrations must state the owner's name, phone number, and mailing address as well as an emergency contact, if not the same. None of the required addresses shall be a post office box. This registration must state if the Street Storefront is Vacant at the time of filing. The registration shall also state the owner's efforts to regain occupancy. Once the Street Storefront is no longer Vacant, is sold or leased, or disposed of in another legal manner, the owner must provide proof of sale or written notice and proof of lawful occupancy to the Planning Department or Inspectional Service Department pursuant to the process outlined by such departments.

The Building Inspector will notify Police, Fire, Water and Sewer, and Health Departments of submitted registration of the Vacant Street Storefront as well as any re-occupancy of the same.

B. The Planning Director and the Building Inspector may jointly exempt a property owner from the provisions of this bylaw upon the presentation of evidence, in such form as may be convincing to them, that the failure to use or occupy a building for a period in excess of 90 days does not violate the purpose or intent of this bylaw.
