[6] Although the Housing Code requires all rental apartment owners to have certificates of occupancy covering their properties, § 2702 of the Code (see note 5, supra) permits any "owner, licensee, or operator required to perform an act by this Code" to apply for a variance. Furthermore, the Code broadly defines "owner" to include the true owner of a rental property or his agent. See id., § 1102. The emergency housing orders in this case were issued to "M & J Joint Ventures," which petitioners have described as the property management agent for Garfield Hills. The record does not make it clear in what way M & J Joint Venture is related to BGM Associates, but we note that both entities have the same mailing address. In any case, the record and pleadings leave no doubt that BGM meets the statutory requirements to apply for a variance.
