In addition to complying with every other requirement of these regulations applicable to the establishment or adjustment of the maximum rent, the landlord must pay such fee to be eligible for an order establishing or adjusting the maximum rent.

(c) Where a landlord has not paid the fee as required by this section, the administrator may deny, defer or revoke the order establishing or adjusting the maximum rent and any increase in the maximum collectible rent for the biennial period for which the required fee was not paid.

(d) This section shall not apply to any building with eight or fewer housing accommodations if any housing accommodations in such building were owner-occupied on October 1st of the year immediately preceding the biennial period commencing January 1, 1974.
