Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Sun River Terrace Ch. 18 Art. V § 18-123 generally obtain the applicable permit before starting any covered construction, plumbing, or electrical project. Compliant operators ensure that plumbing work requiring a permit is performed by an Illinois-licensed plumber, and they arrange lead-based paint inspections or risk assessments when the provision calls for them. Keeping records of issued permits and completed inspections is a common practice that supports compliance with the Rental Registration Program.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Sun River Terrace Ch. 18 Art. V § 18-123 establishes that rental property work—including construction, most plumbing, and most electrical projects—must be carried out under proper permits, and that plumbing requiring a permit must be done by a licensed professional. Tenants who believe work was performed in their unit without required permits, or without a lead-based paint inspection where one was warranted, may raise that concern with the Village of Sun River Terrace or its relevant inspection authority. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what documentation landlords are generally expected to maintain and what avenues exist for reporting potential violations of this provision.
