Every operating license shall be issued for a period of two years, unless sooner revoked, and may be renewed for successive periods not to exceed two years.

If requested entry is refused or not obtained, the Code Enforcement Officer shall pursue recourse as provided by law.
The cost for the license to operate a rental dwelling shall be established by Borough Council from time to time by resolution,[2] based on the type of residential structure and number of dwelling or rooming units.
