East Peoria — Title 3 Ch. 17 Roominghouses § 3-17-5
Approval
Operative Text
Upon receipt of such application, it shall be the duty of the city clerk to submit copies thereof to the director of city inspections and chiefs of the city fire and police departments, who shall each authorize the proper inspection or investigation; and no license shall be issued by the clerk until and unless he or she shall receive the written approval of each official.
East Peoria's Title 3 Ch. 17 § 3-17-5 establishes a multi-agency review process for rooming house license applications. When an application is received, the city clerk must forward copies to the director of city inspections and the chiefs of the fire and police departments, each of whom must conduct their own inspection or investigation. A rooming house license cannot be issued until the clerk has received written approval from all three of those officials.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under East Peoria Title 3 Ch. 17 § 3-17-5, operators seeking a rooming house license should anticipate inspections or investigations from three separate city departments — city inspections, fire, and police — before any license can be issued. Compliant operators typically ensure the property is ready for review by all three departments simultaneously, since written approval from each is required before the clerk may act. Keeping the property in inspection-ready condition and maintaining open communication with each department can help avoid delays in the approval process.

East Peoria Title 3 Ch. 17 § 3-17-5 requires that a rooming house be reviewed and approved by city inspections, fire, and police officials before a license is granted, which means tenants have a basis to verify whether the rooming house they occupy or are considering holds a properly issued license. If a rooming house appears to be operating without a valid license, residents may contact the East Peoria city clerk's office or relevant city departments to inquire about the property's licensing status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with East Peoria municipal code can help residents understand what options may be available when a property's licensing compliance is in question.
