The following shall constitute violations of this chapter: A.

West Dundee CHAPTER 27 § 3-27-8 identifies three categories of violations under the village's rental property licensing framework. A violation occurs when an owner or tenant fails to keep a building and its premises in compliance with applicable building, property maintenance, and zoning ordinances. It is also a violation for any unauthorized person to remove or deface notices posted under this chapter, or for an owner or tenant to fail to comply with any other applicable provision of the chapter or the village code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 3-27-8, property owners are expected to maintain their rental buildings and surrounding premises in continuous compliance with West Dundee's building, property maintenance, and zoning ordinances. Compliant operators also ensure that any official notices posted by the Department remain intact and undisturbed, and that all other requirements of Chapter 27 and the village code are met. Owners who oversee multiple units or properties generally establish routine inspection and maintenance schedules to stay ahead of potential violations.

Section § 3-27-8 makes clear that tenants, alongside owners, share responsibility for maintaining the building and premises in compliance with applicable ordinances. Tenants who believe a posted notice has been improperly removed or that an owner is failing to meet the standards set out in Chapter 27 may consider contacting the West Dundee code enforcement office to report the concern. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Illinois municipal code enforcement can help explain what options may be available when a violation is identified.
