Glen Ellyn Title 7 Ch. 5 Rooming Houses § 7-5-10 establishes minimum sanitary facility requirements for rooming houses.

Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 7-5-10, operators of rooming houses in Glen Ellyn are generally expected to maintain a sufficient number of toilet stools so that no group of more than six occupants shares fewer than one toilet. Compliant operators typically count current occupancy and ensure that any increase in residents triggers a corresponding review of available facilities. Keeping records of occupancy levels and the number of functioning toilet facilities can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.

Section 7-5-10 gives rooming house occupants in Glen Ellyn a baseline right to toilet, lavatory, and bathing facilities in a ratio of at least one toilet stool per six occupants. If the number of residents in a rooming house exceeds what the available facilities can lawfully serve under this provision, that shortfall may constitute a code violation.
