Analysis
This ordinance revises the procedures for the licensing of licensed dwelling facilities, including application procedures for both new and renewal licenses, objection procedures, and the procedures for granting, denying, not renewing, suspending and revoking licenses. This revision is primarily for the purpose of clarifying the procedures (e.g., to distinguish between new-license procedures and renewal-license procedures) and to eliminate redundant and inconsistent code provisions.

This ordinance also makes a number of minor substantive changes to the licensing procedures:

1. The deadline for filing a written objection to issuance of a new license is changed from 14 days after submission of the license application to the commissioner of neighborhood services to 30 days.

2. Application for renewal shall be made no later than 120 days prior to the expiration of a license, rather than no later than 90 days before expiration.

3. The investigation conducted by the chief of police following receipt of a new or renewal license application shall include not only an investigation of the applicant, but an investigation of calls for service and incidents of criminal activity at the premises to be licensed.
