Responsible parties shall provide in writing the name and telephone number of the local property management company to adjoining neighbors in case of emergency or other issues that arise in connection with the subject property.

(b)

Responsible parties shall cause the on-site inspection of any real property subject to registration pursuant to this chapter to be inspected on a weekly basis and shall submit in written inspection report to the city administrator (or designee thereof) on or before the tenth day of each calendar month for which the real property remains vacant. The written report shall consist of, at a minimum, (i) the address of the real property being inspected, (ii) the dates of inspection, (iii) a description of any unlawful conditions observed, and (iv) the actions taken or proposed to be taken by the responsible party to abate the unlawful conditions.

(c)

Responsible parties shall cause the abatement of any unlawful condition existing on real property subject to registration pursuant to this chapter within forty-eight hours of observing or of being notified of the unlawful condition.
