Buffalo Grove Ch. 15.36 § 15.36.120 establishes that any individual, business, or corporation that violates the Residential Rental Housing Program rules is subject to punishment under the village's General Penalty provisions found in Chapter 1.08, alongside any other legal or equitable remedies the village may pursue. Crucially, each day a violation continues is treated as a separate offense, meaning penalties can accumulate on a daily basis for ongoing noncompliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 15.36.120, property owners and managers operating rental housing in Buffalo Grove are expected to maintain continuous compliance with all requirements of Chapter 15.36, because each day a violation persists is counted as a distinct offense under the General Penalty framework of Chapter 1.08. Operators generally document corrective actions promptly and keep records showing when identified issues were resolved, since the daily-offense structure means unaddressed violations can multiply quickly. Reviewing Chapter 1.08 alongside Chapter 15.36 gives a fuller picture of the penalty exposure associated with noncompliance.
