Hazel Crest — Ch. 14 Housing § 14-11
Adopted
Operative Text
A certain document, three (3) copies of which are on file in the offices of the village, and have been on file there, and made available for public use, inspection and examination for at least thirty (30) days prior to the enactment of this section being marked and designated as "International Property Maintenance Code, 2012," be and is hereby adopted as the property maintenance code of the village, for the control of buildings, structures and property as herein provided; and each and all of the regulations of the International Property Maintenance Code, 2012, are hereby referred to, adopted and made part thereof, as if fully set out in this section.
Section 14-11 of Hazel Crest's Housing Code formally adopts the International Property Maintenance Code, 2012 (IPMC 2012) as the village's official property maintenance standard. By incorporating the IPMC 2012 by reference, all of its regulations carry the same legal weight as if they were written out word-for-word in the local code. Copies of the adopted document are kept on file at the village offices and were made available for public review for at least thirty days before this section took effect.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 14-11, property owners and managers in Hazel Crest are subject to the full set of standards contained in the International Property Maintenance Code, 2012, not just locally written rules. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the IPMC 2012's requirements covering structural conditions, sanitation, mechanical systems, and occupancy standards, since all of those provisions are enforceable as local law. Copies of the code are available for inspection at the village offices, making it straightforward to review the specific obligations that apply to a given property type.
