Buffalo Grove — Ch. 15.36 Residential Rental Housing Program § 15.36.020
Provisions of inspection rights and penalties
Operative Text
This Chapter shall not be construed as to obligate or restrict the right of this Village to inspect any property nor to seek penalties for violations of other provisions of this Code.
Buffalo Grove's Ch. 15.36 Residential Rental Housing Program § 15.36.020 makes clear that the rules established in Chapter 15.36 do not limit the Village's broader authority to inspect residential properties or to pursue penalties under other parts of the municipal code. In other words, the existence of this rental housing program does not serve as a ceiling on enforcement — other code provisions remain fully operative alongside it. The chapter is additive, not exclusive, in its relationship to the rest of the Village's regulatory framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Buffalo Grove's residential rental housing program should be aware that § 15.36.020 preserves the Village's right to inspect properties and enforce violations under any applicable section of the municipal code, not just Chapter 15.36. Compliance with the rental housing program alone does not shield a property from scrutiny under other code requirements. Operators generally maintain compliance across all applicable Village codes, recognizing that inspections and penalties may arise from multiple regulatory sources simultaneously.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 15.36.020 of Buffalo Grove's Residential Rental Housing Program confirms that tenants' protections and the Village's enforcement tools are not limited to Chapter 15.36 alone — the Village retains full authority to inspect rental properties and pursue violations under other parts of the municipal code as well. This means that conditions in a rental unit may be subject to enforcement through multiple code provisions beyond the rental housing program itself. Tenants who believe their unit has code violations may wish to contact the Village directly or consult a local tenant-rights organization to understand which provisions may apply to their situation.
