Park Ridge — Art. 22 Property Maintenance Code § 22-8-13
SHINGLES
Operative Text
Roll roofing shall not be used for covering a building roof that has slope in excess of 17 percent (two in 12-inch pitch) unless approved by the Housing Inspector or Building Official. Roll roofing and shingles shall not be used as building siding unless approved by the Housing Inspector or Building Official.
Park Ridge Art. 22 § 22-8-13 restricts the use of roll roofing and shingles as exterior building materials in specific situations. Roll roofing is generally prohibited on roof surfaces with a slope steeper than a two-in-12 pitch, and neither roll roofing nor shingles may be used as wall siding. Both restrictions can be lifted if the Housing Inspector or Building Official grants approval.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Park Ridge Art. 22 § 22-8-13, compliant property operators generally ensure that roll roofing is reserved for low-slope roof applications at or below a two-in-12 pitch, and that wall siding is composed of materials other than roll roofing or shingles. When a project design calls for an exception to either restriction, operators typically seek written approval from the Housing Inspector or Building Official before work begins. Keeping documentation of any such approval on file supports a clear compliance record during inspections.

Park Ridge Art. 22 § 22-8-13 establishes minimum standards for roofing and siding materials that landlords must follow, which can affect the weathertightness and structural integrity of a rental property. If a tenant observes what appears to be non-compliant roofing or siding materials — such as shingles used as wall siding without apparent approval — that concern can generally be reported to the Park Ridge Housing Inspector or Building Official. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand how property maintenance code violations may relate to habitability rights.
