Hillside — Ch. 18 Art. XV Systematic Inspection of Rental Housing § 18-643
Fees
Operative Text
The initial inspection fee for rental dwellings shall be as established by the village board from time to time. Fees for subsequent inspections or any required follow-up inspections shall be as established by the village board from time to time.
Section 18-643 of Hillside's Chapter 18, Article XV establishes that rental housing inspection fees — both for initial inspections and any follow-up or subsequent inspections — are set by the village board and may be adjusted periodically. The provision does not fix a specific dollar amount; instead, it delegates fee-setting authority to the village board, meaning the amounts can change over time without amending this section of the code. This structure allows the municipality to keep fees current without requiring a formal code revision each time.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 18-643, rental property owners in Hillside are subject to inspection fees that the village board sets and may update from time to time, covering both the initial inspection and any follow-up visits required if violations are found. Operators who stay current on the applicable fee schedule and pay promptly when inspections are conducted generally avoid additional complications in the systematic inspection process. Checking with the village directly or monitoring official village board announcements is a common way to stay informed of the current fee amounts.

Section 18-643 of Hillside's systematic rental housing inspection program establishes that fees for inspections — including follow-ups — are determined by the village board, not fixed in the code itself. While these fees are typically the landlord's responsibility as part of operating a rental property, tenants benefit from the inspection program because it creates a mechanism for identifying and addressing housing condition issues. Tenants who have concerns about how inspection fees may be affecting their housing situation can reach out to a local tenant-rights organization or contact the village directly for information about the program.
