Bolingbrook — Ch. 26 Housing Standards and Property Maintenance § 26-52
Inspection of rental premises
Operative Text
All areas of the residential dwelling unit to which the lessee or renter has the right of use or access shall be subject to inspection for compliance with the applicable codes and ordinances of the village.
Section 26-52 of Bolingbrook's Housing Standards and Property Maintenance code establishes that every part of a residential rental unit that a tenant is entitled to use or access may be inspected to verify compliance with the village's applicable codes and ordinances. The provision applies broadly to all such areas, not just primary living spaces. It reflects the village's authority to conduct compliance inspections throughout the rental premises.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ch. 26 § 26-52, compliant operators generally ensure that all areas of a rental unit available to tenants — including common-use spaces, storage areas, and any other accessible portions — meet Bolingbrook's housing codes and ordinances at all times. Maintaining records of routine maintenance and addressing code deficiencies proactively are practices associated with operators who are prepared for village inspections. Familiarity with the full scope of applicable village codes helps property managers understand what inspectors may evaluate under this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 26-52 gives the Village of Bolingbrook the authority to inspect all areas of a rental unit to which a tenant has use or access rights, which means tenants may have grounds to request or support an inspection if they believe conditions in their unit fall short of village codes. Tenants who observe potential code violations can contact the village's code enforcement or housing department to inquire about the inspection process under this provision. Local tenant-rights organizations can also help renters understand how the inspection framework under Ch. 26 § 26-52 relates to their housing situation.
