Plain English

Under Carpentersville Ch. 5.36 § 5.36.080, when a licensing inspection of a residential rental property uncovers violations of the village's minimum standards, the property owner has 30 days to correct those violations. The village's code official must issue a formal correction notice—by mail or in person—that identifies the violations, the compliance deadline, and the consequences of non-compliance. If violations are resolved and any required crime-free housing seminar is completed, a rental license is issued; otherwise, the license may be denied or a temporary certificate revoked, and further enforcement action under § 5.36.140 may follow.

For Property Managers

Under § 5.36.080, compliant operators typically track the 30-day correction window that begins at the time of a licensing inspection and address all cited minimum-standard violations before that deadline. A compliant operator ensures that contact information on the most recent license application is current, since the correction notice is sent to that address. Scheduling a follow-up re-inspection on or before the compliance deadline—and budgeting for re-inspection fees after the first re-inspection as outlined in Chapter 20.02—are standard practices for maintaining an active rental license.

For Tenants

Section 5.36.080 establishes that residential rental properties in Carpentersville must meet the village's minimum standards as a condition of licensure, meaning tenants can look to the licensing process as one mechanism for identifying and correcting substandard conditions. If a property fails inspection and the owner does not correct violations within the required timeframe, the village may deny or revoke the rental license and pursue enforcement under § 5.36.140. Tenants who believe their unit has unresolved code violations may consider contacting the village's code official, reviewing the property's license status, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
