University Park — Part XIV Title Six Housing § 1468-01
License required
Operative Text
No person shall operate a multifamily dwelling unless a license is in effect therefor, as provided in this chapter. Licenses shall be issued by the Village Manager or his or her designee for a period of one (1) year from the date of issuance, unless sooner revoked, and may be renewed for successive periods of not to exceed one (1) year. No license shall be transferable to another person or multifamily dwelling. No such license shall be required for townhomes or condominiums. (Ord. 602. Passed 11-22-83.)
University Park § 1468-01 establishes that any multifamily dwelling must hold a valid, current license before it can legally operate. These licenses are issued by the Village Manager (or a designee) for one-year terms and can be renewed annually, but they cannot be transferred between owners or properties. Townhomes and condominiums are explicitly excluded from this licensing requirement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under University Park § 1468-01, operators of multifamily dwellings are expected to obtain a license from the Village Manager or designee before renting units and to renew that license each year without lapse. Because licenses are non-transferable, a compliant operator typically secures a new license whenever ownership of a property changes hands rather than assuming the prior owner's license carries over. Townhome and condominium owners are not subject to this particular licensing requirement.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
University Park § 1468-01 requires that the multifamily dwelling where you live be covered by a valid, annually renewed operating license issued by the Village Manager. If a property is operating without such a license, that may constitute a violation of local housing law, and tenants can raise this concern with the Village of University Park directly or consult a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options. Condominiums and townhomes fall outside the scope of this provision.
