Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 90-21, property owners and managers can obtain an official certified statement of housing violations on record for a given structure by submitting a written request to the Code Enforcement Office along with the applicable fee. Compliant operators commonly use this process when conducting due diligence before a sale, transfer, or refinancing of a property. The fee amount is established by resolution of the Village Board of Trustees and may change over time, so confirming the current fee before submitting a request is a standard practice.
