Bolingbrook — Ch. 26 Housing Standards and Property Maintenance § 26-49
Pre-inspection of residential units
Operative Text
The owner, agent or manager of a residential unit subject to the terms of this article may request that the unit be inspected for code compliance even though there is no prospective new tenant for the unit.
Under Bolingbrook Ch. 26 § 26-49, the owner, agent, or manager of a residential unit covered by this article has the option to request a code-compliance inspection of that unit at any time — not only when a new tenant is about to move in. This provision creates a voluntary pathway for proactive inspections, independent of any pending tenancy change. It does not require an inspection; it simply makes one available upon request.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Section 26-49 of Bolingbrook's Housing Standards and Property Maintenance code gives property owners, agents, and managers the flexibility to schedule a code-compliance inspection outside of a tenant turnover event. Operators who want to confirm their units meet current standards before issues arise can initiate this process voluntarily. Keeping documentation of any such pre-inspection and its results is a practice commonly associated with proactive property management.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 26-49, your landlord or their agent has the right to request a voluntary code-compliance inspection of your unit even when no new tenancy is being established. Knowing that such inspections can occur may be relevant if questions arise about the condition of a unit during your tenancy. Tenants who have concerns about housing conditions can explore options such as contacting local housing authorities or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
