Peoria Heights ARTICLE A. RESIDENTIAL RENTAL REGISTRATION CODE § 9-8A-5
INSPECTION NOTICE REQUIREMENTS
Operative Text
A. Except in the case of an emergency as determined by the housing inspector, such inspector shall send notice of the date and time that the inspection of a rental property or residential rental unit is to take place at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the scheduled inspection. Notices shall be mailed to the address of the person designated in the registration statement as the recipient of notices. The owner or owner's agent shall within two (2) days thereafter notify the tenant occupying any affected residential rental unit of the pending inspection by providing a copy of such notice to the tenant. B. Upon receipt of the notice of inspection, the owner shall have five (5) business days to ask the housing inspector to reschedule the inspection. Extensions shall be allowed for good cause, as determined by the housing inspector. The maximum extension allowed shall be five (5) business days from the date specified in the original inspection notice. C. Notices of inspection shall advise the owner and the owner's tenant of his or her right to refuse inspection of the rental property or residential rental unit and the Village's right to seek the issuance of an administrative search warrant in the event of any such refusal. No inspection of an occupied residential rental unit shall occur without the consent of the tenant/occupant unless an administrative search warrant is first obtained. D. Within thirty (30) business days after the inspection, the housing inspector shall notify the owner of inspection results and whether the residential dwelling unit has been classified as acceptable or unacceptable. Inspection results shall be mailed to the address of the person designated in the registration statement as the recipient of notices pertaining to the rental property. E. If a residential rental unit or rental property fails to meet the requirements set forth in the Housing Codes, the housing inspector shall issue to the owner, manager, if applicable, and tenant a written notice of the violations containing the following information and directives: 1. A description of each alleged violation of the Housing Codes in substantially the language of the applicable code section with such additional detail as the housing inspector deems necessary to fully advise the owner or manager of the nature of the violation. 2. A description of the residential rental unit where the violations are alleged to exist by street address or legal description. 3. A reasonable time depending upon the nature and extent of each violation but not exceed sixty (60) days for the correction of each violation. Times for correcting multiple violations shall be computed concurrently. (Ord. 2018-1561, 6-19-2018)
Under Peoria Heights § 9-8A-5, housing inspectors must give at least ten days' written notice before inspecting a rental property, except in emergencies. Owners must pass that notice to tenants within two days, and tenants retain the right to refuse entry—though the Village may then seek an administrative search warrant. If violations are found, the inspector issues a written notice describing each problem and sets a correction deadline of up to sixty days.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Peoria Heights § 9-8A-5 generally maintain an accurate notice-recipient address in their registration statement so that inspection notices reach them promptly. Upon receiving a notice, a compliant owner forwards a copy to affected tenants within two business days and, if needed, requests a rescheduling within five business days. When a written violation notice is issued, compliant operators track each correction deadline—up to sixty days per violation, running concurrently—and document completed repairs.

Under Peoria Heights § 9-8A-5, tenants are entitled to receive a copy of any inspection notice from their landlord within two days of the owner's receipt, and the notice itself must inform tenants of their right to refuse entry to an inspector. If an inspection occurs without consent and without an administrative search warrant, that may constitute a violation of this provision. Tenants who believe their rights under § 9-8A-5 have not been respected can contact the Peoria Heights Village offices or a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
