Romeoville Title XV Ch. 153 Rental Property Inspections § 153.35 establishes that any individual or entity that fails to comply with, disobeys, or resists enforcement of any part of Chapter 153 is subject to penalties. Those penalties are not set within this section itself but are instead defined by reference to the village's currently adopted property maintenance code and the specific penalty provision at § 153.99. The rule creates a compliance obligation that applies broadly to anyone covered by the chapter's rental property inspection requirements.

Section § 153.35 signals that Romeoville's rental property inspection requirements carry enforceable consequences for those who fail to comply, which can support tenants when a landlord is unresponsive to inspection-related obligations. Tenants who believe a landlord is resisting or neglecting Chapter 153 requirements may consider documenting the issue and contacting the village's code enforcement office to report a potential violation.
