SEC. 162.04. ACCEPTANCE. (Added by Ord. No. 173,810, Eff. 4/16/01.) A. Upon receipt of a referral, the Department shall verify that the period allowed for compliance, including any extensions, has expired. If the compliance period has not expired but the conditions set forth in Section 162.03 have otherwise been met, the Department shall hold the referral for processing until after the period expires. B. Upon receipt of a referral, the Department shall also investigate whether there are other outstanding Orders against the building that also meet the conditions set forth in Section 162.03. C. After completing its review, the Department shall accept the building or unit into REAP if the conditions set forth in Section 162.03 are met. If there are other Orders that meet the conditions set forth in Section 162.03, the Department shall accept any additional units covered by those Orders into REAP. If the other Orders have not yet expired, the Department may accept the units effective the date the Orders expire. If the referral by a City or County agency indicates that the violations are of a nature or extent that they are likely to exist in or affect all of the units, then any rent reduction for those violations shall apply to all affected units. D. If the Department accepts the building or unit into REAP, it shall issue a Decision (“Department’s Decision”) setting forth: (Amended by Ord. No. 184,446, Eff. 9/26/16.) 1. The date of the Order that has not been complied with and the citing agency; 2. The outstanding violations; 3. The units affected by the Department’s Decision; 4. The amount of the rent reduction, following the RAC schedule adopted pursuant to Section 162.05. If the rent reduction calculation exceeds the cap set by the RAC schedule, the Department’s Decision shall describe the calculation and shall state that the rent reduction is limited by the schedule; 5. The date on which the rent reduction will be in effect. That date shall be the date of the General Manager Hearing Officer Decision; 6. The date on which an escrow account will be established. The Department will not accept payments into the escrow account until the rent reduction effective date; 7.
