Hillside — Ch. 18 Art. XIII Condominium Conversion § 18-584
Compliance with village codes
Operative Text
(a) All units, as well as the common ownership facilities, shall be brought into compliance with all applicable state and local zoning, building, housing, mechanical, and fire codes adopted for use by the village. (b) All main buildings, structures, fences, patio enclosures, carports, parking garages, swimming pools, outdoor recreational facilities, accessory buildings, sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, landscaped areas, and additional elements as required shall be refurbished and restored as necessary to achieve a high standard of appearance, quality, and safety.
Hillside Ch. 18 Art. XIII § 18-584 requires that when a property undergoes condominium conversion, every individual unit and all shared facilities must meet applicable state and local codes covering zoning, building, housing, mechanical, and fire safety. Beyond code compliance, the provision also mandates that the physical condition of buildings, structures, parking areas, pools, landscaping, and other site elements be brought up to a high standard of appearance, quality, and safety. The rule applies both to the legal/regulatory baseline and to a broader aesthetic and structural quality threshold.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators pursuing a condominium conversion in Hillside should be aware that § 18-584 sets a dual compliance bar: first, every unit and common-area facility must satisfy all applicable state and local zoning, building, housing, mechanical, and fire codes; second, the physical condition of the entire property—including fences, carports, pools, driveways, and landscaping—must be refurbished to a high standard of appearance, quality, and safety. Compliant operators typically conduct thorough pre-conversion inspections to identify code deficiencies and deferred maintenance across all structures and site elements. Documenting the scope and completion of all refurbishment work is a common practice to demonstrate satisfaction of the requirements under this section.

Under Hillside Ch. 18 Art. XIII § 18-584, tenants living in a building undergoing condominium conversion have an interest in knowing that the law requires all units and shared facilities to meet applicable codes and to be refurbished to a high standard before the conversion proceeds. If a tenant believes these conditions have not been met—for example, if code violations remain unaddressed or common areas are in poor condition—they may consider raising the issue with the village's relevant code enforcement or housing authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Hillside's condominium conversion ordinance can help residents understand what documentation or remediation they may be entitled to expect under § 18-584.
