Ashton Chapter 18, Article III, § 18-61 establishes the 2024 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), published by the International Code Council, as the official property maintenance standard for the village. The code is adopted in full, including any supplements, appendices, or amendments, and carries the same legal weight as if every provision were written directly into local law.

Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ashton § 18-61, compliant property operators generally familiarize themselves with the 2024 IPMC standards, since those requirements now govern maintenance obligations throughout the village. Because the code is adopted in its entirety, operators typically review all applicable chapters—covering structural, mechanical, plumbing, and habitability standards—rather than relying on summaries. The full text is available for inspection at the village clerk's office, which is the authoritative local source for the adopted version.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Ashton § 18-61 means that tenants' housing conditions are governed by the full 2024 IPMC, giving residents a recognized baseline of maintenance and habitability standards enforceable under local law. Tenants who believe conditions fall short of those standards may review the code at the village clerk's office to understand what the code requires. General enforcement paths can include filing a complaint with the local code enforcement office or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with IPMC-based local codes.
