Westmont — Ch. 19 Condominium Conversions § 19-12
Penalties for violation and noncompliance
Operative Text
(a) Any person or entity violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined not less than $100.00 nor more than $750.00 for each offense. Each violation of the provisions of this chapter and each day such violation shall continue shall be deemed a separate and distinct offense. (b) The remedies provided in this chapter shall be cumulative and in addition to provisions and remedies provided elsewhere in this Code regarding zoning, building and life safety regulations. (c) The developer and the condominium unit owner shall be liable for violations occurring in a condominium unit or proposed condominium unit and each may be cited for any individual violation. The developer shall be liable for violations occurring in common areas and may be cited for any individual violation. (d) In addition to the imposition of a fine, the village may seek injunctive relief to prevent a violation of this chapter, including, but not limited to, enjoining the occupancy and/or sale of any building or unit.
Westmont Ch. 19 § 19-12 establishes penalties for anyone who violates the village's condominium conversion rules. Fines range from $100 to $750 per offense, and each day a violation continues counts as a separate offense, meaning fines can accumulate over time. Beyond fines, the village may also pursue injunctive relief—such as halting the occupancy or sale of a building or unit—and these remedies stack on top of any other applicable code penalties.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Westmont Ch. 19 § 19-12, operators involved in condominium conversions—whether as developers or unit owners—face individual liability for violations occurring within their units, while developers bear additional responsibility for common-area violations. Compliant operators generally ensure that every aspect of a conversion project meets chapter requirements from day one, since each day of noncompliance can be treated as a fresh, separately fineable offense. Developers should also be aware that the village holds authority to seek court orders blocking occupancy or sales, making timely compliance a practical operational priority.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Westmont Ch. 19 § 19-12 provides that both developers and condominium unit owners can be cited individually for violations affecting a unit, giving tenants and prospective buyers a basis to flag noncompliance with village authorities. If a conversion project appears to violate chapter requirements, a complaint can be directed to the village, which has the power to impose fines and even seek injunctions stopping occupancy or sales. Tenants navigating concerns about a specific conversion may find it useful to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource familiar with Illinois condominium conversion law.
