The court held that a guest/lodging house falls within the meaning of 'boarding house' for the purposes of the Ordinance to avoid conflict between Parts II and V; the material date is the date of service of the Notice of Termination; evidence of non-domestic use from inspections and a certificate at dates proximate to the material date can establish a provisional presumption of non-domestic use at the material date; on the evidence the premises were primarily used as a guest house at the material date and the plaintiff was entitled to possession.
