Burlington Code of Ordinances ch. 18 (Housing), Art. II (Administration and Enforcement) § 18-20 — 18-20 Suspension and revocation of certificate.
18-20 Suspension and revocation of certificate.(a)
Suspensions. Under the terms and provisions of this section, an owner’s certificate of compliance for one (1) or more rental unit(s) may be suspended for up to one (1) year for failure to comply with the requirements of this chapter and the fault for noncompliance is determined to rest with the landlord, not the tenant(s). Suspensions may be carried over into a new certificate term. If suspensions have been imposed for at least one-half (1/2) of the total number of rental units located within the property, the enforcement officer may apply the suspension of the certificate of compliance to the entire rental property. The election of the enforcement officer to proceed under this section shall not prevent the enforcement officer from electing to file any action allowed under Section 18-31 or take any other lawful action necessary to enforce this chapter. A certificate of compliance shall only be suspended upon a notice from, hearing before, and order of the housing board of review.(1)
Suspension for noncompliance with Article II of this chapter (Administration and Enforcement).

Register a rental unit;
