Breese — Ch. 7 Art. IX Residential Rental Properties § 7-9-12
OTHER INSPECTIONS
Operative Text
Nothing in this Section shall restrict, limit or alter the City's authority to inspect any property or impose penalties for violations of the City Code.
Section 7-9-12 of Breese's Residential Rental Properties article makes clear that the inspection and enforcement rules established elsewhere in Article IX do not diminish or change the City's broader authority to inspect properties and impose penalties under the City Code. In other words, the City retains all of its general code-enforcement powers alongside any specific rental-property inspection procedures. This provision functions as a savings clause, ensuring that no part of Article IX can be read to narrow the City's existing regulatory reach.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of residential rental properties in Breese should be aware that compliance with Article IX's specific inspection procedures does not shield a property from the City's general code-enforcement authority under Ch. 7 Art. IX § 7-9-12. A compliant operator generally keeps the entire property in conformance with all applicable City Code requirements, not just those addressed in the rental-property article. City inspectors may act under any applicable code provision, and penalties may be imposed independently of the Article IX framework.

Section 7-9-12 affirms that tenants living in Breese rental properties benefit from the full scope of the City's code-enforcement authority, which exists separately from and in addition to the Article IX inspection process. If a tenant believes a property has code violations, they may report concerns to the City's code-enforcement office, which retains independent authority to inspect and penalize violations. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand which City Code provisions may apply to their situation and what reporting options are available.
