Park Ridge — Art. 22 Property Maintenance Code § 22-11-1
MAKING REPAIRS
Operative Text
Whenever an owner, operator, or agent of a building or structure fails, neglects, or refuses to make repairs or other corrective action called for by the order of notice of violation issued pursuant to this Article, the City may undertake such repairs or action, when a failure to make them will endanger the public health, safety, or welfare.
Park Ridge Art. 22 Property Maintenance Code § 22-11-1 establishes that when a building owner, operator, or agent does not comply with an official order to make repairs or take corrective action, the City of Park Ridge itself is authorized to step in and perform those repairs or actions. This authority is triggered specifically when the failure to act poses a danger to public health, safety, or welfare. The provision gives the City a direct remedy to address hazardous conditions rather than waiting indefinitely for a non-compliant party to act.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Park Ridge Art. 22 § 22-11-1, compliant property owners and operators generally respond promptly to any notice of violation issued under Article 22 and complete all required repairs or corrective actions within the timeframe specified in the order. Operators who fail, neglect, or refuse to act risk the City stepping in to perform the work directly, which typically results in costs being passed back to the property owner. Maintaining documentation of completed repairs and communications with the City is a common practice among operators seeking to demonstrate timely compliance.

Park Ridge Art. 22 § 22-11-1 provides tenants with an important backdrop protection: if a landlord or building operator ignores an official repair order and the unaddressed condition endangers health, safety, or welfare, the City has the authority to make those repairs itself. Tenants who are aware of an outstanding notice of violation at their property may consider contacting the City of Park Ridge's code enforcement office to inquire about the status of compliance. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand how an owner's failure to comply with a § 22-11-1 order may relate to other remedies available under local or state law.
