Bolingbrook — Ch. 26 Housing Standards and Property Maintenance § 26-89
Provisions supplemental
Operative Text
The provisions of this article are cumulative with and in addition to other available remedies. Nothing contained in this article shall prohibit the village from collecting on fees, fines, and penalties in any lawful manner; or enforcing its codes by any other means, including, but not limited to, injunction, abatement, or as otherwise provided by law or ordinance.
Section 26-89 of Bolingbrook's Housing Standards and Property Maintenance code establishes that the enforcement tools created by this article do not replace or limit any other legal remedies available to the village. The village retains the ability to pursue fees, fines, and penalties through any lawful collection method, and may also seek relief through injunctions, abatement actions, or other mechanisms recognized by law or ordinance. In short, this provision ensures that multiple enforcement avenues can be used simultaneously or in sequence.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 26-89, a property owner facing a housing standards violation in Bolingbrook should be aware that the village is not limited to a single enforcement path. Compliant operators generally resolve cited violations promptly, because the village may simultaneously or subsequently pursue fines, injunctive relief, abatement, or other legal remedies without one action precluding another. Understanding that these remedies are cumulative helps operators appreciate the full scope of potential consequences for unresolved code issues.

Section 26-89 can be relevant to tenants because it confirms that Bolingbrook's enforcement authority is broad and layered — the village is not restricted to one remedy when housing standards are not met. Tenants who believe a property is out of compliance with the Housing Standards and Property Maintenance code may report conditions to the village, which retains the ability to pursue multiple simultaneous or sequential enforcement actions. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand how this cumulative enforcement framework interacts with other protections that may be available.
