Lynwood — Ch. 18 Art. II Minimum Standards Codes § 18-147
Adoption of state plumbing code
Operative Text
The State Plumbing Code, 2004 edition, published by the state department of public health and printed by the state, is adopted, as if fully set forth herein, as the plumbing code of the village for the control of buildings and structures as herein provided. Three copies of the adopted plumbing code shall be maintained in the officer of the village clerk.
Section 18-147 of Lynwood's Minimum Standards Code formally incorporates the 2004 edition of the State Plumbing Code—published by the state department of public health—as the local plumbing standard governing buildings and structures within the village. By adopting it 'as if fully set forth herein,' the provision gives the state code the same legal force as any locally enacted rule. The village is also required to keep three physical copies of the adopted code on file in the village clerk's office for public reference.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 18-147, property owners and managers operating in Lynwood are held to the standards of the 2004 State Plumbing Code as though it were written directly into local law. Compliant operators generally ensure that all plumbing work—whether new installation, repair, or renovation—meets the specifications outlined in that code. A copy of the adopted code is available for review at the Lynwood village clerk's office, which can serve as a reference when planning or overseeing plumbing-related work.

Section 18-147 means that tenants in Lynwood are entitled to plumbing that meets the 2004 State Plumbing Code, which carries the full weight of local law. If plumbing conditions in a rental unit appear to fall short of those standards, tenants may raise a potential violation with local code enforcement authorities or consult a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options. The adopted code itself is accessible at the village clerk's office, providing a public record of the specific standards that apply.
