Chicago Heights — Ch. 22 Housing, Dangerous Buildings and Structures § 22-68
Application
Operative Text
The application attached hereto as Exhibit A is incorporated herein as though specifically set forth and its terms and conditions are in full force and effect upon the adoption and approval of this article.
Section 22-68 of Chicago Heights Ch. 22 establishes that the application document attached as Exhibit A is formally made part of the housing article itself, carrying the same legal weight as if its text had been written directly into the ordinance. This means the terms and conditions found in that application are binding from the moment the article was adopted and approved. The provision functions as an incorporation-by-reference clause, tying the external application document to the main regulatory text.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 22-68, property owners and managers operating under Chicago Heights Ch. 22 should be aware that the Exhibit A application is not a separate or optional document — it is treated as an integral part of the article with full legal effect. Compliant operators generally obtain and review the complete Exhibit A application to understand all terms and conditions that govern their obligations under this article. Keeping a copy of the incorporated application on file alongside the ordinance text is a common practice for maintaining accurate compliance records.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 22-68 means that the application document labeled Exhibit A carries the same force as the rest of Chicago Heights Ch. 22, so any rights or protections described in that application are just as enforceable as those written directly into the ordinance. Tenants who believe a landlord has failed to comply with conditions set out in the Exhibit A application may have grounds to raise that non-compliance under this article. Local tenant-rights organizations or the Chicago Heights municipal offices can help residents locate the full text of Exhibit A and understand what its terms and conditions cover.
