Hazel Crest — Ch. 14 Housing § 14-59
Additional remedies
Operative Text
This article shall not prevent the village or any person from exercising any right or seeking any remedy to which that person might otherwise be entitled, or from filing any complaint with any other agency or court of law or equity.
Section 14-59 of Hazel Crest's Ch. 14 Housing code establishes that the remedies and procedures set out in this article are not the only options available. Any person—whether a resident, property owner, or the village itself—retains the ability to pursue other legal rights, remedies, or complaints through courts or other agencies. This provision functions as a savings clause, ensuring that the article does not inadvertently limit pre-existing legal options.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 14-59, property owners and managers should understand that compliance with this article does not shield them from separate legal actions that tenants, neighbors, or the village might bring through other channels. A compliant operator generally keeps records of all housing-related communications and actions, recognizing that complaints may be filed with courts or other agencies independently of this article's procedures. Awareness of this broader legal landscape is a standard part of responsible property management in Hazel Crest.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 14-59 makes clear that tenants are not limited to the remedies described within this article when addressing housing concerns. Residents may simultaneously or alternatively file complaints with other agencies, pursue claims in a court of law or equity, or contact tenant-rights organizations for guidance on available options. This provision preserves the full range of legal paths that might otherwise be available under local, state, or federal law.
