Norridge — Ch. 22 Art. XII Rental Property Licensing Code § 22-609
Scheduling inspections
Operative Text
A. Scheduling . The building official (building commissioner) shall request permission from the applicant or licensee to conduct inspections during normal business hours the village shall give notice of the time and date of impending inspections shall to the owner and agent no less than 24 hours in advance of the date and time for the scheduled inspection unless another time is mutually agreed to by the village and the owner/agent. B. Notice to tenants/occupants . Notice of the time and date of impending inspections shall be given to the tenant(s)/occupants by the owner/agent. C. Lack of tenant or occupant consent . Owners/agents shall contact the village prior to the scheduled inspection if they are unable to obtain their tenants' consent to the inspection if a planned inspection includes the interior space under that tenant's exclusive possession. Failure to do so will be considered a missed inspection and subject to penalties as prescribed under Village Code, chapter 38 , section 38-22-610.
Under Norridge Ch. 22 Art. XII § 22-609, the village's building official must request permission and provide at least 24 hours' advance notice to the property owner or agent before conducting a rental property inspection, unless a different time is mutually agreed upon. The owner or agent is then responsible for notifying tenants and occupants of the scheduled inspection date and time. If a tenant withholds consent for an inspection of their exclusive interior space, the owner or agent must alert the village before the inspection takes place; failing to do so counts as a missed inspection and triggers penalties under Village Code Chapter 38, § 38-22-610.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 22-609, compliant property owners and agents generally ensure that tenants receive timely notice of any scheduled inspection date and time after the village provides its required 24-hour advance notice. When a tenant declines to consent to an interior inspection of their exclusive space, operators typically contact the village before the scheduled inspection to avoid the missed-inspection designation. A missed inspection carries penalties as set out in Village Code Chapter 38, § 38-22-610, so proactive communication with both tenants and the village is a standard part of the licensing compliance process.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 22-609 establishes that tenants and occupants must be notified by the owner or agent of the date and time of any upcoming rental property inspection. Tenants also have a recognized interest in their exclusive interior space — the provision specifically addresses situations where a tenant has not consented to an interior inspection. Tenants who have questions about their rights during the inspection process may find it useful to review the full Norridge Rental Property Licensing Code or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
