Calumet Park CHAPTER 119: RESIDENTIAL RENTAL LICENSE REGULATIONS § 119.03
PERIODIC SECURITY AND SAFETY INSPECTION
Operative Text
Every dwelling unit and its common area are subject to periodic security and safely inspections by the village, at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, to ensure continuing compliance with all applicable laws and regulations of the village or state. Whenever it appears, by a security and safely inspection, that conditions or practices exist which are in violation of the provisions of this section or of any applicable laws and regulations of the village or state, the village shall serve the landlord or designated agent with written notice of such violation, stating what action is required to correct the violation and the time period allowed for correction. Such notice shall state that unless the violations cited are corrected within the time allowed, the residential rental license may be suspended or revoked. (Ord. 16-1139, passed 1-14-2016)
Under Calumet Park § 119.03, the village has the authority to conduct periodic security and safety inspections of residential rental dwelling units and their common areas at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner. When an inspection reveals conditions or practices that violate village or state laws and regulations, the village must issue written notice to the landlord or designated agent identifying the violation, the corrective action required, and the timeframe for correction. That notice also warns that failure to correct the cited violations within the allowed period may result in suspension or revocation of the residential rental license.

Operators of residential rental properties in Calumet Park should be aware that § 119.03 authorizes the village to inspect any dwelling unit and common area on a periodic basis to verify compliance with applicable laws. Compliant operators generally maintain their properties in a condition that meets village and state standards at all times, not only in anticipation of inspections. When a written violation notice is received under this section, operators typically document the corrective steps taken and complete all required repairs within the timeframe specified in the notice to avoid license suspension or revocation.
