SEC. 37.15. REPORTING OBLIGATIONS; LICENSING.
(a) Owners of residential dwelling units subject to this Chapter 37 shall be required to report certain information about their units to the Rent Board, as set forth in subsections (b) and (c). In the case of a unit owned by multiple owners, reporting by a single owner shall suffice. Owners shall report the information using a form prepared by the Rent Board. The Rent Board may, in addition to or in lieu of a paper form, develop an electronic form or a secure internet website with an interface for owners to submit the required information. The Rent Board may develop procedures for tenants to also report information about their units, but in that event reporting by tenants shall be optional rather than required.
(b) Owners shall report under penalty of perjury the mailing address of each unit and whether the unit is Owner-Occupied. The term “Owner-Occupied” shall refer to a unit which is occupied by an owner of record on either a full-time or part-time basis and is not rented at any time, as set forth in Administrative Code Section 37A.1(f). Depending on whether the unit is Owner-Occupied, the following reporting requirements shall apply:
(1) If the unit is Owner-Occupied, then the owner shall not be required to report any further information about the unit under this subsection (b).
