Plain English

Palatine's Ch. 12 § 12-24 authorizes and directs the local code official to create formal inspection plans covering rental dwelling units in the village. Two types of plans are required: one tied to the periodic inspection of licensed rental units under § 12-54, and another for systematic inspections of dwelling units in areas designated by the village manager. Together, these plans establish the framework by which the village monitors housing conditions on an ongoing basis.

For Property Managers

Under Palatine Ch. 12 § 12-24, rental property operators should expect that their units are subject to both periodic inspections connected to the licensing process under § 12-54 and broader systematic inspections that the village manager may designate. Compliant operators generally maintain their properties in code-conforming condition at all times, not only in anticipation of a scheduled visit. Keeping records of maintenance, repairs, and prior inspection results is a practice commonly associated with smooth compliance under this framework.

For Tenants

Palatine Ch. 12 § 12-24 establishes that tenants in rental dwelling units have the benefit of a structured inspection program overseen by the village's code official. If a tenant believes their unit has not been inspected as required, or that housing conditions are substandard, they may contact the village's code enforcement office to inquire about the status of inspections under § 12-54 or to report concerns. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand how the inspection framework applies to their building and what options exist for raising habitability issues.
