(a)
Cause. An
Owner's Rental License for a Dwelling, and Certificate of Compliance for a

violation, the Owner fails to comply with the correction orders within the time
set for correction by the District Building Official and takes no
appeal.
(b)
Effect of
suspension. Notwithstanding any other provision of RPRO, it shall
not be unlawful for any Person to continue leasing, operating, managing, or
maintaining a Dwelling or Rental Unit whose Rental License or Certificate of
Compliance, respectively, has been suspended. However, such Person shall not
permit any new occupancies of vacant, or thereafter vacant Dwelling Units in
such Dwelling, until such time as the Rental License and Certificate of
Compliance are restored.

Official may notify all public utility companies serving the Dwelling or Rental
Unit that the Rental License and Certificate of Compliance have been suspended
for violation of RPRO, and request that all public utility services be
discontinued for such Dwelling or Rental Unit until notice of compliance is
received. Any public utility company may refuse to connect any Dwelling or
rental Unit until a Rental License or Certificate of Compliance is
issued.

Certificate of Compliance shall be restored upon compliance with the correction
