For Property Managers

Property owners pursuing a condominium conversion in Yorkville should be aware that § 8-5-4 requires a formal inspection by an authorized City Building or Zoning Inspector before the conversion is finalized. Compliant operators typically conduct thorough pre-inspection reviews of the property against current BOCA building codes, fire codes, and City ordinances, addressing any deficiencies well in advance of seeking final approval. Owners should also consult Chapter 2 of Title 8, which is cross-referenced in this provision, for any additional requirements that may apply.

For Tenants

Under § 8-5-4, tenants living in a residential rental building being converted to condominiums have the assurance that the conversion cannot be legally finalized until the building passes inspection for compliance with BOCA building codes, fire codes, and City ordinances. If a conversion appears to have proceeded without this inspection or without demonstrated code compliance, tenants may consider raising this as a concern with the City's Building or Zoning department. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Yorkville's regulations can help residents understand what options may be available under this provision and the related requirements in Chapter 2 of Title 8.
