Notwithstanding the foregoing ninety (90)-day time limit, if a deficiency cited is a stair or balcony replacement or other improvements requiring issuance of a building permit by the City, then such ninety (90)-day period shall be extended by the Agency's Executive Director for so long as may reasonably be required to issue the building permit. Extensions following reinspections may also be granted under the following circumstances: (a) If Owner is in the process of evicting tenants in a rental unit, then that unit may be excluded from the time limits for reinspection if the Owner (1) provides proof that they have entered into a legal eviction process, (2) notifies the Agency's Executive Director within five (5) days when the apartment unit becomes vacant, and (3) schedules an inspection of that apartment unit within ninety (90) days after the unit is vacated by the evicted tenant.

If a reinspection or follow-up Inspection has been requested by Owner and the Inspector determines that the Owner has not in good faith attempted to remedy all of the deficiencies cited in the previous Inspection Report, then the Inspector shall stop the inspection and document the facts indicating that sufficient work had not been done.
