              In this paragraph, “multiple–family dwelling” has the meaning stated in &lt;cite data-path="|13|§5-1"&gt;Article 13, § 5-1&lt;/cite&gt; of the Baltimore City Code.
            
            
              (iii)
              Baltimore City may not issue or renew a multiple–family dwelling license unless the applicant demonstrates that a professional inspector &lt;em&gt;{as defined in &lt;cite data-doc="Md. Code" data-path="gps|12-203"&gt;Public Safety Article § 12-203(a)(4)&lt;/cite&gt;}&lt;/em&gt; has completed an inspection of the multiple–family dwelling to ensure that each balcony railing in the multiple–family dwelling meets the requirements of the Building, Fire, and Related Codes of Baltimore City.
            
            
              (iv)
              Beginning in October 2015, and every 5 years thereafter, at the time that Baltimore City sends a renewal notice to a holder of a multiple–family dwelling license, Baltimore City shall notify the license holder of the inspection requirement under subparagraph (iii) of this paragraph.
