Penalties
Operative Text
Any person, firm, corporation, or other entity violating any provision of this Chapter shall be subject to the penalties of all applicable codes and such person, firm, corporation, or other entity shall be deemed guilty of a separate offense for each and every day or portion thereof during which such violation is committed, continued, or permitted, and upon finding that a violation has occurred, shall be fined in accordance with the appropriate provisions of this Chapter. (a) The penalty for the failure to register rental housing shall be $750.00. (b) The penalty for violating the requirements of Division 4 shall be $750.00. (Ord. No. 27-2025 § 1, 12-15-25)
Evergreen Park § 5-383 establishes a penalty structure for violations of the village's rental housing chapter. Each day a violation continues counts as a separate offense, meaning fines can accumulate over time. Two specific flat penalties are set: $750 for failing to register rental housing, and $750 for violating the requirements of Division 4 of the chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Evergreen Park § 5-383, compliant rental property operators generally ensure their units are registered on time and that all Division 4 requirements are met before and throughout any tenancy. Because each day of a continuing violation is treated as a separate offense, operators who discover a compliance gap typically address it promptly to limit the accumulation of daily $750 fines. Maintaining current registration records and periodically reviewing Division 4 obligations are practices associated with ongoing compliance.

Evergreen Park § 5-383 gives tenants a framework for understanding what consequences landlords face when they fail to register rental housing or violate Division 4 requirements. If a landlord appears to be out of compliance, tenants can document the situation and contact the village of Evergreen Park directly to inquire about enforcement options. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Illinois municipal housing codes can also help residents understand how this penalty provision may be relevant to their circumstances.
