Sauk Village — Ch. 18 Art. XIX Registration of Defaulted Mortgage and Vacant Properties § 18-1138
Provisions supplemental
Operative Text
The provisions of this chapter are cumulative with and in addition to other available remedies. Nothing contained in this chapter shall prohibit the village from collecting on fees, fines, and penalties in any lawful manner; or enforcing its codes by any other means, including, but not limited to, injunction, abatement, or as otherwise provided by law or ordinance.
Section 18-1138 of Sauk Village's Ch. 18 Art. XIX establishes that the registration and enforcement rules in this chapter do not replace or limit any other legal tools the village already has available. The village may pursue fees, fines, and penalties through any lawful collection method, and may also seek court-ordered remedies such as injunctions or abatement actions. In short, this provision layers on top of—rather than substituting for—existing enforcement authority.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 18-1138, property owners and managers should understand that compliance with the registration chapter does not shield them from additional enforcement actions the village may pursue through other codes or legal channels. A compliant operator generally ensures that all applicable village ordinances are satisfied simultaneously, since the village retains the right to pursue injunctions, abatement, or other remedies alongside any registration-related penalties. Awareness of the full scope of Sauk Village's enforcement toolkit helps operators avoid compounding violations across multiple regulatory frameworks.

Section 18-1138 makes clear that Sauk Village's enforcement powers related to defaulted mortgage and vacant property registration are additive—meaning the village can act on multiple fronts at once to address code violations. Tenants who believe a property is out of compliance with village codes may find it useful to know that the village is not limited to a single enforcement path and can pursue injunctions or abatement in addition to fines. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Sauk Village ordinances can help residents understand how these overlapping enforcement mechanisms may be relevant to conditions at a specific property.
