Rolling Meadows — Ch. 18 Art. XI Rental Dwellings § 18-421

(a) Whenever, upon inspection of the licensed rental dwelling, the community development director finds that conditions or practices exist that are in violation of this article, or of any of the sections of this Code or of any applicable rules and regulations pursuant thereto, he shall serve the owner or operator with notice of such violation. Such notice shall state that unless the violations cited are corrected within a reasonable time of not less than five days, except for emergency situations, in the sole discretion of the community development director, the operating license may be suspended.
(b) At the end of the time he has allowed for correction of any violation cited, the community development director shall reinspect the rental dwelling, and if he determines that such conditions have not been corrected, he may issue an order suspending the operating license to take effect five days following service of the notice of suspension upon the landlord unless, in the interim, the landlord requests, in writing, a hearing.
(c) Any person whose license to operate a rental dwelling is subject to suspension pursuant to a suspension order shall be entitled to a hearing on the suspension action by filing with the city clerk a written request for a hearing before the city manager within two business days following the receipt of the suspension order. Upon receipt of the request, the hearing shall be scheduled by the city manager, to be held before the city manager at a date not more than two business days thereafter. Upon completion of the hearing, the city manager may either:
(1) Confirm the suspension;
(2) Revoke the suspension and allow additional compliance time; or
(3) Rescind the suspension.
(d) If no request for a hearing by the city manager of a suspension order is filed, as provided in subsection (c) of this section, the suspension order shall remain in effect until the violations in question have been corrected, as determined by the community development director upon reinspection of the rental dwelling unit.
(e) If an operating license is suspended and such suspension is affirmed by the city manager after hearing, if any, during the period of suspension:
(1) No existing rental agreement shall be renewed and no new rental agreements shall be entered into with respect to any rental unit located within the building in which the licensed dwelling is located; and
(2) The city shall have the right to proceed under section 18-386 .
