Rock Island ARTICLE VI. RENTAL PROPERTIES § 4-52
Other Remedies
Operative Text
Nothing in this article shall prevent the City from acting under any applicable City Code or ordinance for any violation thereof or limit the right or authority of the City to perform inspections based on a tenant complaint or to seek injunctive relief or other appropriate legal remedy for any violation of such Code or ordinance. (Ord. 76-2025, 8-11-2025)
Rock Island § 4-52 makes clear that the rental property article does not stand alone as the city's only enforcement tool. The city retains full authority to pursue violations through any other applicable City Code or ordinance, conduct inspections triggered by tenant complaints, and seek injunctive relief or other legal remedies. In short, this provision preserves the full range of municipal enforcement options alongside whatever specific rules appear elsewhere in Article VI.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Rock Island § 4-52, a compliant rental property operator recognizes that satisfying the specific requirements of Article VI does not insulate a property from enforcement under other City Code provisions. Operators generally maintain their properties in accordance with all applicable municipal codes—not just the rental article—because the city may act on any of those codes independently. Awareness that tenant complaints can trigger city inspections under this provision is part of routine compliance practice.

Rock Island § 4-52 preserves tenants' ability to prompt city action beyond what Article VI alone provides. A tenant who believes a rental property violates any City Code or ordinance may file a complaint with the city, which retains authority to inspect and pursue legal remedies including injunctive relief. Tenants seeking to understand which codes apply to their situation may find it useful to contact the city's relevant department or a local tenant-rights organization for general information.
