Operative Text
(a) Any owner, property agent, occupant or person who fails to comply with any section of this chapter applicable to him, and continues in this failure after due notice and opportunity to comply with this chapter, upon conviction thereof, shall be subject to a fine of not less than $100.00 nor more than $1,000.00 for each day each section of this Code is violated. (b) Nothing in this chapter shall prevent the city from taking any other legal or equitable remedies available to the city, including any emergency action permitted by law when any portion of the rental residential building is a danger to persons or property is a nuisance or a nuisance residential rental property.
Rolling Meadows Ch. 18 Art. XI § 18-429 establishes that any owner, property agent, occupant, or other person who fails to comply with the applicable sections of Chapter 18 and continues that failure after receiving notice and an opportunity to correct it may face a daily fine upon conviction. The fine ranges from $100 to $1,000 for each day each code section remains violated. Separately, the provision preserves the city's ability to pursue other legal or equitable remedies, including emergency action when a rental building poses a danger, constitutes a nuisance, or is classified as a nuisance residential rental property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Rolling Meadows Ch. 18 Art. XI § 18-429, compliant property owners and managers generally respond promptly to any notice of violation and take documented corrective action before the deadline specified in that notice. Because fines can accrue at up to $1,000 per day per violated code section, operators typically maintain records showing when and how each deficiency was remedied. Operators also remain aware that the city retains authority to pursue additional legal or equitable remedies, including emergency intervention, independent of the fine process.

Rolling Meadows Ch. 18 Art. XI § 18-429 provides that the city can impose daily fines on owners, property agents, or other responsible parties who fail to correct code violations after notice, which can serve as an incentive for landlords to address problems promptly. Tenants who believe their rental unit has unresolved code violations may consider contacting the appropriate Rolling Meadows code enforcement office to report conditions and trigger the notice process described in § 18-429. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid resources can help residents understand what options are available, including whether the city's broader legal and equitable remedies might apply to conditions in their building.
