Gilberts — Title 9 Ch. 6 Art. B Vacant Buildings or Property § 9-6B-8
Certification
Operative Text
A certificate of code compliance for vacant buildings issued by the village and payment in full of all fees imposed pursuant to this article are required prior to any occupancy of a vacant building.
Under Gilberts Title 9 Ch. 6 Art. B § 9-6B-8, a vacant building may not be occupied until two conditions are met: the village has issued a certificate of code compliance for that building, and all fees required under Article B have been paid in full. This rule applies regardless of who intends to occupy the building or for what purpose. The provision functions as a gate on re-occupancy, ensuring buildings meet code standards before anyone moves in.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators managing vacant buildings in Gilberts should be aware that § 9-6B-8 requires both a village-issued certificate of code compliance and full payment of all Article B fees before any tenant or occupant may lawfully take possession. Compliant operators typically complete all necessary inspections, address any code deficiencies, and confirm fee clearance well before a planned move-in date. Allowing occupancy before these conditions are satisfied exposes a property owner to potential violations under this article.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 9-6B-8, tenants have an interest in knowing whether a vacant building they are considering occupying has received a certificate of code compliance from the village and whether all required fees have been paid. Prospective occupants can inquire with the Village of Gilberts directly to confirm whether these prerequisites have been satisfied for a specific property. If a tenant believes they were allowed to occupy a building that did not meet these requirements, tenant-rights organizations or a housing attorney can help explain what options may be available.
