In addition to the provisions of § 36-105.1:1, the City of Roanoke may, upon an affirmative finding of the need to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, require the issuance of certificates of compliance with current building regulations for existing residential buildings located in conservation and rehabilitation districts designated by the local governing body, or in other areas designated as blighted pursuant to § 36-49.1:1, after inspections of such buildings upon termination of the rental tenancies or when such rental property is sold, or at specific time intervals, for a specific property, but not more than once each calendar year upon a separate finding that such additional inspections are necessary to protect the public health, safety or welfare. If, however, an inspection has been conducted within the last 12 months, no inspection shall occur upon the termination of a rental tenancy or upon a change in ownership.
