(c) Maintenance and repairs. Whenever the housing accommodation is used for rental housing purposes, the owner must designate a person or persons within 25 miles of the building to be responsible for maintenance and repairs. The tenant in each unit shall be informed by the owner or his or her Agent in writing as to who is responsible for maintenance and repairs, both as to common and individual unit areas, and such notice shall be updated whenever there is a change in tenants or a change in who is responsible for such maintenance.

(d) Rent and eviction protections. The granting of a removal permit under this Subsection shall not by itself operate to change the classification of the housing accommodation of controlled or vacancy decontrolled and the provisions of this Section as the decontrol under paragraph e. of the definition of “housing accommodation” in Subsection 10-2.1 shall continue to be in full force and effect. Nothing herein, however, shall extinguish the right of a landlord after the granting of a removal permit to seek decontrol status of a housing accommodation which is voluntarily vacated within the meaning of said paragraph e. of the definition of “housing accommodation” in Subsection 10-2.1.

(5) Procedures.
