Lynwood — Ch. 54 Human Relations § 54-269
Semi-annual inspections
Operative Text
Group homes are subject to inspection twice per year by the building and fire departments to evaluate continued compliance with all licensing requirements in this article. Each department head shall send the licensee a report of inspection pursuant to section 54-264 of this article. After the time period allowed for correction, the office of the village clerk will make a determination to review or revoke or not renew the license pursuant to this article. Notice of the intent to revoke or not renew a license shall be sent to the licensee in accordance with the notice requirements of section 22-29 of this Code.
Under Lynwood Ch. 54 § 54-269, group homes must undergo inspections twice each year, conducted by both the building and fire departments, to verify ongoing compliance with the article's licensing requirements. Each department head is required to send the licensee a formal inspection report as outlined in § 54-264. If deficiencies are found, the licensee is given a correction period; after that window closes, the village clerk's office decides whether to continue, revoke, or decline to renew the license, with formal notice provided under § 22-29 of the Code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of group homes subject to Lynwood Ch. 54 § 54-269 generally maintain their facilities in continuous compliance with all applicable licensing requirements so that semi-annual building and fire department inspections do not reveal deficiencies. A compliant operator keeps records of prior inspection reports received under § 54-264 and addresses any noted issues within the correction period to avoid triggering a license revocation or non-renewal review by the village clerk's office. Staying current on notice requirements under § 22-29 of the Code helps ensure that any formal communications about license status are received and acted upon promptly.
