Peoria Heights ARTICLE A. RESIDENTIAL RENTAL REGISTRATION CODE § 9-8A-9
OTHER REMEDIES
Operative Text
Nothing in this article shall prevent the Village from taking action under the Housing Codes or any other applicable Village code or ordinance for any violation thereof or limit the right or authority of the Village to seek injunctive relief or other appropriate legal remedy for any violation of such code or ordinance. (Ord. 2018-1561, 6-19-2018)
Peoria Heights § 9-8A-9 makes clear that the Residential Rental Registration Code does not stand alone as the Village's only enforcement tool. The Village retains the full ability to pursue remedies under its Housing Codes or any other applicable local ordinance, including seeking injunctive relief or other legal remedies, for any violation. In other words, this provision preserves the Village's broader enforcement authority alongside the registration requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Peoria Heights § 9-8A-9, compliance with the Residential Rental Registration Code does not insulate a property owner from enforcement actions under the Village's Housing Codes or other local ordinances. Operators who maintain properties in compliance with all applicable Village codes—not just the registration article—are generally better positioned to avoid the range of remedies the Village may pursue. This includes the possibility of court-ordered injunctive relief, which can compel or prohibit specific actions beyond ordinary fines.

Peoria Heights § 9-8A-9 signals that tenants living in properties with code violations may have multiple avenues of Village enforcement available, not just those tied to the rental registration process. The Village can pursue Housing Code violations and seek court remedies such as injunctions independently of the registration article, which may broaden the scope of potential relief. Tenants who believe their housing conditions involve code violations may wish to contact the Village directly or consult a tenant-rights organization to understand which enforcement paths may apply.
