Woodridge CHAPTER 9 RESIDENTIAL RENTAL ORDINANCE § 3-9A-19
PENALTY
Operative Text
In addition to any and all penalties provided for in this article, any person found to have violated any provision of this article shall be subject to the general penalty provided for in section 1-4-1 of this code. (Ord. 2012-42, 7-26-2012)
Section 3-9A-19 of Woodridge's Residential Rental Ordinance establishes that violations of the article carry a dual layer of consequences: any specific penalties already described elsewhere in the article apply, and on top of those, the general penalty provision found in Section 1-4-1 of the Woodridge Municipal Code also applies. This means a single violation could trigger more than one type of penalty simultaneously. The provision was adopted by Ordinance 2012-42 on July 26, 2012.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Woodridge's Residential Rental Ordinance should be aware that Section 3-9A-19 stacks the article's own penalties on top of the municipality's general penalty framework under Section 1-4-1. Compliant operators typically maintain thorough records of their adherence to each provision of the article so that, if a question arises, documentation is readily available. Reviewing both the article-specific penalties and Section 1-4-1 together gives a fuller picture of the consequences associated with any given violation.

Under Section 3-9A-19 of Woodridge's Residential Rental Ordinance, tenants should know that a landlord who violates any part of this article may face penalties from two separate sources: those specified within the article itself and the general penalty under Section 1-4-1 of the Woodridge Municipal Code. This layered penalty structure can be relevant when reporting a potential violation to the appropriate Woodridge municipal authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local ordinances can help explain what enforcement options may be available under this provision.
