Rantoul — Ch. 10 Art. XII Property Maintenance Code § 10-415
Penalties
Operative Text
(a) If any such violations of the property maintenance code continue for more than 14 days after the timetable specified in this division, any such violations shall be referred for prosecution under the applicable provisions of this Code. (b) Any owner or other person who violates any provision of this division shall be guilty of an offense and, upon conviction thereof, shall be subject to penalties as set forth in section 1-23 .
Under Rantoul Ch. 10 Art. XII § 10-415, property maintenance code violations that remain unresolved more than 14 days past the correction deadline set in the division are referred for criminal prosecution. Any owner or other person found to have violated the division's provisions can be convicted of an offense and subjected to the penalty schedule established in § 1-23 of the Rantoul Code. The provision creates a two-step escalation: an initial correction window, followed by formal legal proceedings if the violation persists.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Rantoul Ch. 10 Art. XII § 10-415 generally ensure that any cited property maintenance violations are corrected within the timetable specified in the division, because unresolved violations trigger a referral for prosecution after 14 days. Compliant operators typically document their remediation efforts with dates and records to demonstrate timely correction. Conviction under this section exposes an owner to the penalties outlined in § 1-23, making prompt compliance a standard practice in property management.

Rantoul Ch. 10 Art. XII § 10-415 establishes that property maintenance violations not corrected within the required timeframe can be referred for prosecution against the owner, which may provide tenants with a formal enforcement avenue. Tenants who observe ongoing code violations may report them to the appropriate Rantoul municipal authority, which can initiate the referral process described in this section. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand how the correction timetable and prosecution referral process under § 10-415 may relate to their housing situation.
