Calumet Park CHAPTER 119: RESIDENTIAL RENTAL LICENSE REGULATIONS § 119.35
IMMUNITY OF ENFORCEMENT OFFICER
Operative Text
Any enforcement officer or any person authorized by the village to enforce the sections here within shall be immune from prosecution, civil or criminal, for reasonable, good faith entry upon real property while in the discharge of duties imposed by this subchapter. (Ord. 18-1207, passed 9-13-2018)
Section 119.35 of Calumet Park's residential rental license regulations establishes a legal immunity for village enforcement officers and other authorized personnel. When these individuals enter rental property in good faith and in a reasonable manner while carrying out their official inspection or enforcement duties under the subchapter, they are shielded from both civil and criminal prosecution arising from that entry. This immunity applies specifically to actions taken within the scope of their authorized duties, not to conduct that falls outside those bounds.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 119.35, landlords and property managers should be aware that village enforcement officers and authorized agents have legal protection when they enter rental property reasonably and in good faith as part of their official duties under the residential rental license regulations. Compliant operators generally cooperate with authorized inspections and avoid interfering with or threatening legal action against officers acting within their sanctioned role. Understanding this immunity provision helps property owners set appropriate expectations about the village's enforcement authority.

Section 119.35 grants immunity to Calumet Park enforcement officers who enter rental property reasonably and in good faith while performing their official duties under the residential rental license subchapter. Tenants should be aware that this immunity is tied to conduct within the scope of authorized duties, meaning it does not necessarily cover actions that exceed or fall outside those duties. Tenants who believe an entry was improper or exceeded the bounds of § 119.35 may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource to understand what options may be available.
