Calumet Park CHAPTER 119: RESIDENTIAL RENTAL LICENSE REGULATIONS § 119.10
SUSPENSION OR REVOCATION OF LICENSE; HEARING; APPEAL
Operative Text
The CFHC may suspend or revoke any residential rental license, on not less than five days notice to the licensee and an opportunity for a hearing, whenever the CFHC finds that a licensee has failed or refused to correct any violation of any law or regulation applicable to the property, after reasonable notice and opportunity to take corrective action. Any person whose residential rental license has been suspended or revoked by the CFHC shall be entitled to an appeal to the Mayor. Said appeal must be filed with the Village Clerk within seven days of the notice of suspension or revocation. If the Mayor denies said appeal, an appeal may then be made to the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees' decision shall be final and binding. (Ord. 16-1139, passed 1-14-2016)
Under Calumet Park § 119.10, the Community and Family Health Commission (CFHC) has authority to suspend or revoke a residential rental license when a licensee has failed to correct violations of applicable laws or regulations after being given reasonable notice and a chance to fix them. Before any suspension or revocation takes effect, the licensee must receive at least five days' notice and an opportunity to be heard. A multi-step appeal process exists: first to the Mayor (filed with the Village Clerk within seven days of the suspension or revocation notice), then to the Board of Trustees if the Mayor denies the appeal, with the Board's decision being final and binding.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators holding a residential rental license in Calumet Park should be aware that under § 119.10, the CFHC can move to suspend or revoke that license if outstanding violations are not corrected after reasonable notice. Compliant operators generally respond promptly to any violation notices, document corrective actions taken, and maintain records of correspondence with the CFHC. If a suspension or revocation notice is received, the seven-day window to file an appeal with the Village Clerk is a firm deadline that operators typically track carefully.

Section § 119.10 of Calumet Park's residential rental regulations gives the CFHC the power to suspend or revoke a landlord's rental license when violations go uncorrected, which can be a meaningful protection for tenants living in non-compliant properties. Tenants who are aware of unaddressed violations at their rental property may have the option of reporting those conditions to the CFHC, which can trigger the notice and hearing process described in this provision. Tenant-rights organizations in the Chicago metropolitan area can help residents understand how license suspension or revocation proceedings might intersect with their housing situation.
