Bellwood CHAPTER 124: LICENSING OF MULTI-FAMILY DWELLINGS AND SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLING UNITS FOR RENT § 124.14
NOTICE OF CHANGE
Operative Text
Each operating license shall be displayed in a conspicuous place within the interior common areas of the multiple-family building or in a conspicuous place within a single-family dwelling unit for rent. Every person holding an operating license shall give notice in writing to the Village Clerk and the Comptroller within 24 hours after having transferred or otherwise disposed of the legal control of any licensed multiple- family building or single-family dwelling unit for rent. Such notice shall include the name and address of the person or persons succeeding to the ownership or control of such multiple-family building or single- family dwelling unit for rent. (Ord. 03-43, passed 8-20-03; Am. Ord. 03-59, passed 11-12-03)
Under Bellwood § 124.14, operating licenses for rental properties must be posted in a visible location — inside common areas for multi-family buildings or within the unit itself for single-family rentals. When ownership or legal control of a licensed rental property changes hands, the current license holder is required to notify the Village Clerk and the Comptroller in writing within 24 hours of that transfer. The written notice must identify the name and address of whoever is taking over ownership or control of the property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Bellwood § 124.14 generally keep their operating license displayed in a conspicuous interior location — a common hallway or lobby for multi-family buildings, or within the unit for single-family rentals. When a sale, transfer, or other change in legal control occurs, compliant operators submit written notice to both the Village Clerk and the Comptroller within 24 hours, including the incoming owner's or controller's full name and address. Maintaining a checklist that triggers this notification at closing or transfer is a practice commonly associated with staying in compliance with § 124.14.

Under Bellwood § 124.14, tenants in licensed rental properties have a right to see the operating license displayed in a visible location within their building or unit. If a property changes hands and no notice appears to have been filed with the Village Clerk or Comptroller as required, tenants may contact the Village of Bellwood directly to inquire about the status of the license and any recent transfer notifications. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Bellwood's licensing requirements can help residents understand what options may be available when § 124.14 obligations appear to go unmet.
