Hoffman Estates — Ch. 8 Art. 13 Residential Rental Property License § 8-13-6

A. It shall be the further duty of the Village's Building Official and/or his designees to enforce the provisions of this Chapter 8-13 in all respects as adopted and as amended from time to time.
B. Within thirty (30) days of the Village's providing notice to the Owner by first class mail to the address provided by the Owner on his Residential Rental Property license application that an inspection is required, the Owner shall schedule an inspection with the Village at which the Owner or an authorized representative shall be present to permit entry into the interior and exterior of the property. Failure of the Owner to schedule the required inspection within that thirty (30) day period or to provide entry to the property at the time of the scheduled inspection shall result in the inspection being deemed as a violation of this Section. Subsequent inspections shall be subject to re-inspection fees as applicable under this Chapter.
C. Each Residential Rental Property shall be subject to an annual inspection by the Village. Annual licensing inspections of Residential Rental Property shall include the interior and exterior of the Residential Rental Property. This annual licensing inspection shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other inspections that may be required to be performed by the Village to determine and enforce compliance with the Village's Code and its rules and regulations.
D. At the time of any Village inspection, the Residential Rental Property must comply in all respects with the applicable laws of the State of Illinois, Cook County, and the Village's Municipal Code.
E. When any inspection of a Residential Rental Property by the Village reveals any violation of applicable state and local laws, the Village's Building Official shall establish a reasonable time period during which the Residential Rental Property must be brought into compliance. Notice of the violations and the time period for compliance shall be sent by the Village's Building Official to the Owner by first class mail to the address provided by the Owner on his Residential Rental Property license application, or may be delivered by the Village in person to the Owner or his authorized representative at the conclusion of the inspection.
F. A re-inspection of the Residential Rental Property shall occur on the earlier of compliance by the Owner or the conclusion of the time period for compliance, for which a re-inspection fee of Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($50.00) shall be charged by the Village. The Owner shall be responsible for scheduling the re-inspection prior to the compliance deadline.
G. If upon re-inspection the Building Official determines that the Residential Rental Property continues to be not in compliance with applicable laws of the State of Illinois, Cook County and the Village's Municipal Code, the Building Official may authorize additional time for the Owner to comply, or the Building Official may order the Residential Rental Property's temporary certificate suspended and the property vacated. Notice of the continuing violations and suspension shall be sent by the Village's Building Official by first class mail to the Owner at the address provided by the Owner on his Residential Rental Property license application, and to the Tenant whose name appears on the license application provided by the Owner. The Village shall also post notices on all entrances to the Residential Rental Property, stating that the Residential Rental Property must be vacated within sixty (60) days if the Building Official has determined that the violation(s) do not place the Tenant in imminent danger of harm. If, however, the Building Official determines that the violations do place the Tenant in imminent danger of harm, the Building Official shall order the Residential Rental Property vacated immediately.
H. An Owner whose Residential Rental Property temporary certificate has been suspended may request a re-inspection for which an additional re-inspection fee of Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($50.00) shall be charged by the Village. If upon that further re-inspection the Village's Building Official determines that the Residential Rental Property is now in compliance, the Building Official shall authorize the license to be issued or renewed subject to payment of a reinstatement fee of Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($50.00) to the Village.
I. Any inspection request initiated by the holder of a Residential Rental Property license or temporary certificate that is not considered part of the Village's annual required inspection process shall be subject to an inspection fee of Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($50.00).
