Bolingbrook Ch. 26 § 26-92 prohibits anyone from obstructing or resisting an enforcement officer — or anyone acting under that officer's authority — while the officer carries out duties under the housing standards and property maintenance article. The rule applies broadly to any person, not just property owners or tenants. Violations are subject to punishment under applicable codes or by a court with proper jurisdiction.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Bolingbrook Ch. 26 § 26-92, compliant property owners and managers generally cooperate with enforcement officers who arrive to conduct inspections or carry out other duties authorized by the housing article. Operators typically ensure that staff and agents are aware that interfering with or resisting an authorized officer can result in legal consequences. Maintaining open communication with the enforcement office and facilitating access to the property are practices associated with compliance.

Bolingbrook Ch. 26 § 26-92 applies to all persons, which means tenants, like anyone else, are prohibited from obstructing or resisting an enforcement officer performing duties under the housing article. Tenants who have concerns about how an inspection or enforcement action is being conducted may document the situation and reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance. If a tenant believes an enforcement visit was conducted improperly, that concern can generally be raised through the appropriate local administrative or judicial channels.
