Rental licensing / registration

Yes. Owners of rental property must register with the Building Inspector by filing a sworn landlord registration statement (§§ 210-4, 210-5). It is unlawful to offer any unit for rent, rent it, or let it be occupied without first registering, and not receiving a deadline notice is no excuse.
