Streamwood Title 3 Ch. 14 Rental Residential Property § 3-14-6
ENFORCEMENT
Operative Text
It shall be the duty of the department of community development to enforce the provisions of this chapter as authorized by this code and the international property maintenance code as adopted and amended from time to time by the village. (Ord. 2000-9, 3-16-2000)
Section 3-14-6 of Streamwood's Rental Residential Property chapter designates the Department of Community Development as the body responsible for enforcing the rules governing rental residential properties. The department carries out this role using authority granted both by the village's own municipal code and by the International Property Maintenance Code, as that code has been adopted and updated by the village over time. This provision establishes the institutional framework for oversight rather than setting out specific tenant or landlord obligations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 3-14-6, the Streamwood Department of Community Development holds the authority to inspect and enforce compliance with the village's rental residential property standards. Operators who maintain properties in conformance with both the municipal code and the adopted International Property Maintenance Code are generally positioned to meet the department's expectations. Keeping records of maintenance, repairs, and inspections can support a showing of ongoing compliance if the department conducts a review.
