Section 15.40.020 of Lyndon's Title 15 makes several targeted amendments to the International Property Maintenance Code as adopted by the Village of Lyndon. Most notably, it substitutes Illinois Plumbing Code references for International Plumbing Code references throughout, removes Section 303.2 of Chapter 3 entirely, and establishes that any violation of the code constitutes a Class B misdemeanor with fines set by Title I, Chapter 1.12 of the Lyndon Municipal Code. Critically, each day a violation continues after proper notice is served counts as a separate offense, meaning penalties can accumulate over time.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 15.40.020, property owners and managers in Lyndon are expected to comply with the Property Maintenance Code as locally amended — including plumbing standards drawn from the Illinois Plumbing Code rather than the International Plumbing Code. Operators who receive a notice of violation should be aware that the fines referenced in Title I, Chapter 1.12 of the Lyndon Municipal Code can accrue on a per-day basis for each day the violation remains unaddressed. Maintaining properties in continuous compliance and responding promptly to any official notices are the hallmarks of how compliant operators generally approach this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants living in Lyndon may find § 15.40.020 relevant when a rental property has maintenance or plumbing conditions that fall short of the locally amended Property Maintenance Code. Because violations can be treated as separate offenses for each day they continue after notice, this provision creates ongoing accountability for property owners who fail to correct cited problems. Tenants who believe a property condition violates the code can explore options such as contacting the Village of Lyndon's code enforcement office, raising a violation as a defense in relevant proceedings, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
