Bolingbrook — Ch. 26 Housing Standards and Property Maintenance § 26-20
Adoption of property maintenance code
Operative Text
The village has adopted as though fully set forth herein the International Property Maintenance Code, 2006 Edition, as the village property maintenance code, one copy of which is on file in the office of the village clerk, subject to the changes set forth in section 26-21 .
Bolingbrook § 26-20 formally incorporates the 2006 Edition of the International Property Maintenance Code as the village's own property maintenance standard, with any local modifications described in § 26-21. A copy of the adopted code is kept on file with the village clerk and carries the same legal weight as if its text were written directly into the village's ordinances. This means all properties in Bolingbrook are subject to the requirements of that code, as locally amended.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Bolingbrook § 26-20, property owners and managers are expected to meet the standards set out in the 2006 International Property Maintenance Code as adopted by the village. Compliant operators typically familiarize themselves with both the base code and the local modifications found in § 26-21, since both apply equally. A copy of the adopted code is available through the village clerk's office for reference.
