Zion — Ch. 10 Art. VII Property Maintenance Code § 10-176
Adopted
Operative Text
The International Property Maintenance Code 2015 is hereby adopted, by this reference thereto, to be in full force and effect within the city. Three copies are filed with the city clerk.
Section 10-176 of Zion's Municipal Code formally adopts the International Property Maintenance Code 2015 (IPMC 2015) as local law, making its full set of property maintenance standards legally enforceable within the city. By incorporating the IPMC 2015 by reference, the city applies that code's requirements—covering matters such as structural integrity, sanitation, and habitability—as if they were written directly into Zion's own ordinances. Three official copies of the adopted code are kept on file with the city clerk for public reference.

Under Zion Ch. 10 Art. VII § 10-176, property owners and managers operating within Zion are subject to the full requirements of the International Property Maintenance Code 2015. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the IPMC 2015's standards for structural conditions, exterior and interior maintenance, plumbing, mechanical systems, and fire safety, and keep their properties in conformance with those standards. Copies of the adopted code are available through the Zion city clerk's office for review.

Zion Ch. 10 Art. VII § 10-176 means that tenants in Zion are entitled to housing that meets the standards set out in the International Property Maintenance Code 2015, which addresses habitability conditions such as structural safety, sanitation, and adequate facilities. When conditions in a rental unit appear to fall short of those standards, tenants generally have options such as filing a complaint with the local code enforcement authority or raising a code violation in relevant legal proceedings. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help explain how the IPMC 2015 standards apply to specific housing conditions.
