Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 46-467, property owners and managers in Cicero should be aware that compliance with the Minimum Housing Code is overseen by multiple inspectors, not just one. The building inspector holds primary responsibility for Sections 46-472 through 46-478 (select sections), while the health inspector leads enforcement of Sections 46-475, 46-477, 46-479, and 46-480. Operators who maintain properties in compliance with all applicable sections are generally prepared for inspections from any of these officials, whether they arrive separately or together.
