North Chicago — Title 5 Ch. 14 Landlord Licensing § 5-14-7
NOTIFICATION:
Operative Text
Until written notification of a change of the address is received by the City, any notice to be provided under the provisions of this chapter or the codes specified herein shall be deemed sufficiently given if deposited in the United States mail 1st class, postage prepaid and addressed to the person at the address listed on the application. Notification will also be made via facsimile or email if that information has been provided in the landlord application.
Under North Chicago Title 5 Ch. 14 Landlord Licensing § 5-14-7, official notices sent by the City to a licensed landlord are considered legally delivered once mailed first-class to the address on file with the City's landlord licensing application. If a landlord has provided a fax number or email address on that application, the City may also use those channels for notification. The rule places the burden of keeping contact information current on the landlord, since the City's obligation is satisfied as soon as mail is sent to the last address of record.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 5-14-7, compliant operators keep their landlord licensing application information—mailing address, fax number, and email—current with the City of North Chicago at all times. When a contact detail changes, operators promptly submit written notification of the new address to the City, because notices mailed to the old address are treated as validly delivered until that update is received. Providing a fax number or email on the original or updated application can create an additional channel through which the City may reach the licensee.

Section 5-14-7 of North Chicago's Landlord Licensing chapter governs how the City communicates with registered landlords, not directly with tenants, but tenants may find this provision relevant when evaluating whether their landlord is maintaining an active, up-to-date license. If a landlord's licensing records appear outdated or a property seems unlicensed, tenants can inquire with the City of North Chicago about the status of a landlord's registration. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with North Chicago's licensing requirements can help explain how gaps in landlord compliance under this chapter may affect a tenancy.
