    Council Member Ariola expresses concern about the lack of automatic follow-up for expired Temporary Certificates of Occupancy (TCOs), while Constadino Sirakis explains the various mechanisms that encourage TCO renewal.

    • Ariola points out that without complaints or owner action, expired TCOs may go unnoticed
    • Sirakis confirms that this can happen, but notes other factors push owners to renew TCOs
    • External factors like tenant requirements, property sales, and other agency licensing processes often necessitate TCO renewal
    • Sirakis emphasizes that an expired TCO doesn't necessarily indicate an immediate safety issue
