Elk Grove Village CHAPTER 15: RESIDENTIAL RENTAL UNITS/CRIME FREE HOUSING § 3-15-5
REGULATIONS
Operative Text
A. Each license must be displayed in a prominent or conspicuous place within the common ways of the rental dwelling. B. Every owner, operator or agent of a licensed multiple dwelling facility shall keep or cause to be kept an accurate record of all repairs, alterations and equipment changes related to the provisions of this Chapter or to any rules or regulations pertaining thereto and of all corrections made as a result of inspections by the Code Official or their inspector. Such record shall be made available to the Code Official at their request and may be used in administrative or judicial proceedings if required or applicable. C. Whenever, upon inspection, the Code Official finds that conditions or practices exist which are in violation of the provisions of this Chapter or of any applicable rules or regulations pursuant thereto, they shall serve the owner, operator or agent as the case may be with notice of such violation or violations. If the cited violations are not corrected within the time period indicated in the notice, the license may be suspended as provided herein. D. The licensee must be in compliance with all applicable codes, regulations and ordinances of the Village, including all national or international codes adopted by the Village which relate to any particular dwelling unit or multiple dwelling building or other rental dwelling.
Section 3-15-5 of Elk Grove Village's Chapter 15 establishes several ongoing operational requirements for licensed residential rental properties. Rental licenses must be posted in a visible common area, and owners or operators must maintain accurate records of repairs, alterations, and equipment changes related to the chapter's requirements. When a Code Official identifies violations upon inspection, a notice is issued, and failure to correct those violations within the specified timeframe can result in license suspension. Licensees are also required to remain in compliance with all applicable Village codes, ordinances, and adopted national or international standards.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 3-15-5, compliant operators in Elk Grove Village typically post the rental license in a prominent common area location where it is easily visible to residents and inspectors. They also maintain organized, up-to-date records of all repairs, alterations, and equipment changes covered by Chapter 15, keeping those records readily available for the Code Official upon request. When a violation notice is received, operators generally address each cited item within the timeframe stated in the notice to avoid the risk of license suspension, and they routinely verify compliance with all Village codes and any adopted national or international standards applicable to their property.

Section 3-15-5 gives tenants a basis to check that their building's rental license is visibly posted in a common area, which is a basic indicator of the property's licensed status under Elk Grove Village's Chapter 15. Tenants who observe conditions that may violate Village codes or this chapter's requirements can report those concerns to the Elk Grove Village Code Official, who has authority to inspect and issue violation notices to the owner or operator. If violations go uncorrected, the provision allows for license suspension, and tenants may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization to understand how that process could affect their housing situation.
