Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 119.34, property owners and managers are generally expected to cooperate fully when enforcement officers or their authorized representatives arrive to carry out duties under the Residential Rental License Regulations subchapter. Compliant operators typically grant reasonable access, refrain from any conduct that could be construed as obstruction, and ensure that staff or agents on the property do the same. Interference with an authorized officer can trigger penalties under applicable codes or through a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 119.34 establishes that obstructing or resisting an enforcement officer acting under Calumet Park's Residential Rental License Regulations is a punishable offense—a rule that applies to all parties, not just landlords. Tenants who believe an enforcement visit was conducted improperly or that their rights were affected by an enforcement action may wish to consult a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options. Because penalties are determined by applicable codes or a court of competent jurisdiction, understanding the full scope of this provision may require reviewing related sections of the Calumet Park municipal code.
