Elk Grove Village CHAPTER 15: RESIDENTIAL RENTAL UNITS/CRIME FREE HOUSING § 3-15-10
ENFORCEMENT/PENALTIES
Operative Text
Except as otherwise provided herein, any property owner violating any provisions of this Chapter or other applicable code or regulation of the Village shall be subject to a fine of not less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) nor more than seven hundred and fifty dollars ($750.00) for each offense and a separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day a violation occurs or continues to exist, and further provided, however, that the penalty for violating the provisions of Section 3-15-9 A of this Chapter shall be subject to a fine of not less than five hundred dollars ($500.00) nor more than seven hundred and fifty dollars ($750.00) for each offense and a separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day a violation occurs or continues to exist.
Elk Grove Village § 3-15-10 establishes a tiered fine structure for property owners who violate Chapter 15, which governs residential rental units and crime-free housing. General violations carry fines ranging from $100 to $750 per offense, while violations of the specific provisions in Section 3-15-9 A carry a higher minimum of $500, up to $750 per offense. Critically, each day that a violation persists is treated as a separate, independent offense, meaning fines can accumulate over time.

Under Elk Grove Village § 3-15-10, compliant operators stay current with all requirements of Chapter 15 and other applicable Village codes to avoid daily accruing fines. Because each day of a continuing violation constitutes a new offense, operators who identify a potential issue generally move promptly to correct it and document their remediation steps. Violations of Section 3-15-9 A carry a steeper minimum fine of $500 per day, making compliance with that subsection especially important to track.

Elk Grove Village § 3-15-10 creates a financial accountability mechanism that applies to property owners who fail to meet Chapter 15's residential rental and crime-free housing standards. If a landlord is not complying with Chapter 15 requirements, tenants may consider reporting the condition to the Village, since fines can accumulate on a per-day basis for ongoing violations. Tenants seeking to understand their rights under this chapter can consult local tenant-rights organizations or the Village's code enforcement office for guidance on available complaint processes.
