The St. Louis Park Ordinance Code, Sections 15-310, 15-312 and 15-315, is amended to read: r Health and Safety - Residential Section 15-310. Certificate of Health and Safety Compliance. When the occupancy or ownership of any single or two family structure within the City of St. Louis Park changes after October 1, 1972, the present occupant or owner, or any agent designated by the present occupant or owner, shall make application for the certificate of health and safety compliance. This section shall not apply to any lawfully licensed multiple -dwelling structure, and shall have no effect upon the pro- visions of law or other ordinances relating to the issuance of building permits. Section 15-311. Application; Inspection. Application for the certificate of health and safety compliance shall be made upon forms furnished by the city and approved by the City Council. Upon receipt of a properly executed application for a certificate of health and safety compliance, the City Manager shall cause an inspection to be made of the premises to insure that the structure is in compliance with the minimal requirements of the housing code. Such inspection shall be based upon requirements of the housing code only and shall not be used to discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, sex, income level, or any other basis not contained in the housing code. Minimal requirements for purposes of this ordinance means those requirements or standards which were generally in effect at the date of construction of the building, and the immediate health and safety hazards as enumerated in Section IV of the Implementation Standards, Housing Code Requirements. It does not incorporate those subsequent standards or requirements of the state building codes which reflect present day standards for new construction. It is intended to include any condition constituting an immediate hazard to health and safety, but it is not the purpose of inspections under this ordinance to require all buildings to be upgraded to satisfy the standards in the current codes. The standards which must be satisfied in order to obtain a certificate of health and safety compliance are only those standards set forth in the Implementation Standards, Housing Code Requirements, Sections I through VI, dated July 17, 1972, which are incorporated into and made a part of this ordinance by reference. Three copies of the Implementation Standards, Housing Code Requirements, shall be marked "official copy" and filed with the City Clerk for use and examination by the public.
