Norridge — Ch. 22 Art. XII Rental Property Licensing Code § 22-614
Any and all code violations identified during a village safety inspection will be brought to the owner's attention by means of serving a copy of a safety inspection checklist to the owner or the agent, and the owner will be given a reasonable time to correct such code violations. If the property fails to pass re-inspection, and more than one re-inspection is required, the owner shall be subject to fees and penalties as prescribed under Village Code, chapter 38 , section 38-22-600 et seq. If the code violations remain uncorrected, the village will pursue compliance with applicable code provisions. Upon receipt of a notice and order to correct any and all code violations, the owner may appeal the notice to correct to the board of code appeals. Any person having record title or legal interest in the building may appeal from the notice and order or any action of the building official (building commissioner), provided the appeal is made in writing as provided in Village Code, chapter 18 , article III, section 78 International Property Maintenance Code ("IPMC") Section [A] 111.1 and Sections [A] 111.3 through [A] 111.7 of the IPMC (as may be amended from time to time) and filed with the building official (building commissioner) within 20 days from the date of service of such notice and order. IPMC Section [A] 111.8 "Stays of Enforcement" is modified so the clause (other than "Imminent Danger") also includes the term "Life Safety Violations" and that there shall be no stay of enforcement for a notice and order of enforcement for life safety violations or any situation involving imminent danger. Life safety violations are defined as set forth in the following technical codes adopted by the village, to wit: a.
International Building Code ("IBC") Village Code chapter 18 article III, section 18-61 - Adoption - The International Building Code, 2018 Edition, as may be amended from time to time.
b. International Fire Code ("IFC") Village Code, chapter 18 , article III, section 18-82 - Adoption of International Fire Code, 2018 Edition, as may be amended from time to time.
c. International Property Maintenance Code ("IPMC") Village Code chapter 18 , article III, section 18-78 - Adoption - International Property Maintenance Code, 2018 Edition, as may be amended from time to time.
d. International Residential Code ("IRC"): Village Code, chapter 18 , article III, section 18-64 . - Adoption - The International Residential Code, 2018 Edition, as may be amended from time to time.

Plain English

Under Norridge Ch. 22 Art. XII § 22-614, when a village safety inspection identifies code violations, the property owner is notified and given a reasonable period to make corrections; if re-inspection is still needed after the first, fees and penalties under Village Code Ch. 38 § 38-22-600 et seq. may apply. Owners or anyone with a legal interest in the property may appeal a notice and order in writing to the board of code appeals within 20 days, except that violations classified as 'life safety violations' or situations involving imminent danger cannot be stayed during an appeal.

For Property Managers

Operators subject to § 22-614 generally maintain properties so that code violations identified during a village safety inspection are corrected before re-inspection is required, since a second re-inspection triggers potential fees and penalties under Ch. 38 § 38-22-600 et seq. Compliant operators also track the 20-day window for filing a written appeal with the building commissioner if they wish to contest a notice and order, while recognizing that life safety violations and imminent-danger situations carry no stay of enforcement during any appeal.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

Section 22-614 establishes that Norridge rental properties must pass village safety inspections, and owners who fail to correct violations face escalating fees and penalties — a process that can support tenants living in substandard conditions. Tenants aware of unresolved code violations may contact the village building department to inquire about inspection status, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on how the appeal and enforcement process under § 22-614 may affect their housing situation.
