Operative Text
A written application, upon blank forms furnished by the department of regulatory affairs, shall be filed with the department of regulatory affairs each year and shall accurately state the full name and address of the applicant and person in whose name the license required by section 26-1151 is to be issued, the full name and address of the owner of the building and premises where such roominghouse use is proposed to be carried on, the number of rooms in such building which are to be occupied as sleeping rooms and the number of persons proposed to be accommodated or allowed in each room. Such application shall be sworn to by the applicant. Annual application for a license shall be made on or before January 1.
Under East St. Louis Ch. 26 Art.

The application must include the full names and addresses of the applicant, the license holder, and the building owner, as well as the number of sleeping rooms and the proposed occupancy per room. This annual filing must be completed on or before January 1 of each year.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of roominghouses subject to § 26-1182 generally obtain the official application forms from the East St. Louis Department of Regulatory Affairs and ensure all required information — including owner details, room counts, and per-room occupancy figures — is accurately completed and sworn before submission. Compliant operators treat the January 1 deadline as a firm annual milestone, submitting the application on time to maintain the license required under § 26-1151. Keeping copies of each year's sworn application on file supports continuity and helps demonstrate compliance if questions arise.

Section 26-1182 requires roominghouse operators to file a sworn annual license application with the East St. Louis Department of Regulatory Affairs, disclosing the number of sleeping rooms and the number of persons allowed per room. Tenants can contact the Department of Regulatory Affairs to inquire whether a roominghouse they occupy holds a current, valid license under this provision. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with East St. Louis housing regulations can help residents understand what options may be available if a roominghouse appears to be operating without the required annual license.
