Marquette Heights CHAPTER 11 RENTAL REGISTRATION AND INSPECTION PROGRAM § 3-11-18
RECORDS AND REPORTS
Operative Text
The rental inspector shall keep records of all complaints, inspections, reports, and actions taken with respect to each rental property. (Ord. 889, 6-24-2019)
Section 3-11-18 of Marquette Heights Chapter 11 requires the city's rental inspector to maintain a documented record of every complaint received, inspection conducted, report generated, and action taken in connection with each rental property in the program. This creates an ongoing administrative paper trail tied to individual properties. The provision establishes a recordkeeping duty on the part of the inspector, not on landlords or tenants directly.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 3-11-18, the rental inspector is responsible for logging all complaints, inspections, reports, and enforcement actions associated with each property. Operators who are aware of this requirement often keep their own parallel records of inspections and correspondence, since the city's file on a given property can reflect its compliance history over time. Maintaining organized documentation of completed repairs and inspector communications is a practice consistent with operating under a program governed by this chapter.

Section 3-11-18 establishes that the rental inspector must keep a running record of complaints, inspections, reports, and actions tied to each rental property. This means that complaints a tenant files under the Marquette Heights Rental Registration and Inspection Program should be documented in the inspector's official records. Tenants who want to understand what is on file for their property may consider contacting the city's rental inspection office directly, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on how to access those records.
