Prospect Heights CHAPTER 7 PROPERTY RENTAL CODE § 3-7-5
NOTICE OF REVOCATION AND HEARING
Operative Text
The city administrator shall cause notice of the revocation of the license to be served on the licensee either personally or by certified United States mail and the reason or reasons therefor and such licensee may within ten (10) days of the date of such notice, petition the mayor and city council for a hearing on restoration of license under such conditions as the mayor and city council may deem necessary for the correction of conditions set forth in the revocation notice. (Ord. 0-87-26, 8-17-1987)
Prospect Heights CHAPTER 7 PROPERTY RENTAL CODE § 3-7-5 establishes a two-step process when a rental license is revoked: the city administrator must formally notify the licensee—either in person or by certified mail—of the revocation and the reasons behind it. Once that notice is received, the licensee has a ten-day window to petition the mayor and city council for a hearing to seek restoration of the license. The mayor and city council have authority to set whatever conditions they consider necessary to address the problems identified in the revocation notice.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Prospect Heights § 3-7-5, a property owner or manager whose rental license is revoked will receive official notice from the city administrator, delivered personally or by certified mail, spelling out the grounds for revocation. Operators who wish to continue renting generally act quickly, since the petition for a restoration hearing must be filed within ten days of that notice. Compliant operators typically document the steps they have taken to correct the cited conditions, as the mayor and city council may impose remedial requirements before restoring the license.

Prospect Heights § 3-7-5 is relevant to tenants because a landlord's rental license can be revoked when serious property conditions are not corrected, and the provision governs how that revocation is handled. Tenants living in a property whose license has been revoked may want to understand the status of any restoration hearing before the mayor and city council, since conditions attached to license restoration can directly affect habitability. Tenant-rights organizations or local housing offices can help residents understand what a revocation or pending hearing means for their housing situation.
