A rental housing property shall not be selected for inspection under subsection 22.214.050.A
within five years of completing the inspection requirement and obtaining a certificate
of compliance, unless the Department determines that the certificate is no longer
valid because one or more of the rental units listed in the certificate of compliance
no longer meets the standards as required in this Chapter 22.214. When the Department determines a certificate of compliance is no longer valid, the
owner may be required to have all rental housing units on the property inspected by
a qualified rental housing inspector, obtain a new certificate of compliance, and
pay a new registration fee.
J.
If a rental property owner chooses to hire a private qualified rental housing inspector,
the Department may charge a private inspection processing fee. If the property owner
chooses to inspect fewer than 100 percent of the rental housing units on the property
and a unit selected for inspection fails the initial inspection, both the results
of the initial inspection and any certificate of compliance must be provided to the
Department. The Department shall audit inspection results and certificates of compliance
prepared by private qualified rental housing inspectors. Based on audit results, the
Department may select additional units for inspection in accordance with subsection
22.214.050.G.3. If the Department determines that a violation of this Chapter 22.214 exists, the owner and qualified rental housing inspector shall be subject to all
enforcement and remedial provisions provided for in this Chapter 22.214.
