Calumet Park § 119.99 establishes the penalty framework for violations of the village's residential rental license regulations. Any breach of §§ 119.01–119.11 can lead to revocation of a residential rental license and monetary fines under the village's general penalty provision at § 10.99, with each day of a continuing violation and each affected dwelling unit in a multi-unit building counted as a separate offense. Violations of §§ 119.25–119.36 are similarly declared unlawful and subject to fines under § 10.99, and enforcement may be pursued through Ordinance 01-764 or any other lawful means.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of residential rental properties in Calumet Park should be aware that § 119.99 creates a compounding penalty structure: noncompliance with the rental license requirements in §§ 119.01–119.11 can result in both license revocation and daily fines, with each unit in a multi-unit building treated as a separate violation. Compliant operators generally maintain current residential rental licenses, promptly correct any cited deficiencies, and keep records demonstrating ongoing compliance with all applicable sections. Violations of §§ 119.25–119.36 carry their own unlawfulness designation and fine exposure under § 10.99, so operators typically monitor all covered sections continuously.

Tenants in Calumet Park can look to § 119.99 to understand that their landlord's failure to comply with the village's residential rental license rules—covering §§ 119.01–119.11 and §§ 119.25–119.36—can expose the landlord to license revocation and escalating daily fines. Because each unit and each day of violation is treated separately, ongoing noncompliance can accumulate significant penalties against a landlord. Tenants who believe their landlord is in violation may consider contacting the village directly, raising the violation as a defense in relevant proceedings, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general information about available enforcement paths.
