in subsection E of this section and the report and public comment provided for in

not making a good-faith effort to rent low-income rental units, or that the owner's
building contains low-income rental units that are not habitable but could feasibly
be made habitable, then he or she shall issue and cause to be served upon the owner
in the manner provided in subsection D and shall post in a conspicuous place on the
