Mascoutah — Ch. 29 Art. III Environmental Requirements (Property Maintenance) § 29-3-47
Correctional institutional occupancies
Operative Text
It is not intended that this Code regulate the space requirements of correctional institutions.
Section 29-3-47 of Mascoutah's Chapter 29, Article III explicitly carves out correctional institutions from the space requirements otherwise established by the Property Maintenance Code. This means the square-footage, occupancy, and related spatial standards that apply to other types of occupancies do not govern correctional facilities under this provision. The rule defines a boundary of the code's reach rather than imposing an affirmative obligation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of conventional residential or commercial properties in Mascoutah should be aware that § 29-3-47 is a scoping exclusion specific to correctional institutional occupancies, not a general exemption from property maintenance standards. Compliant operators of non-correctional properties continue to follow all applicable space requirements under Chapter 29, Article III, as this provision does not affect those obligations. Understanding the code's scope helps property managers correctly identify which standards apply to their specific property type.

Section 29-3-47 clarifies that Mascoutah's Property Maintenance Code does not set space requirements for correctional institutions, which defines the limits of tenant protections under this particular article. Residents of conventional rental housing are not affected by this carve-out, as the space and occupancy standards of Chapter 29, Article III continue to apply to standard residential properties. Tenants with questions about how this scoping provision may relate to their housing situation can consult a tenant-rights organization or review the full text of the Mascoutah Property Maintenance Code.
