Crete — Ch. 6 Art. IV Housing Maintenance and Occupancy Code § 6-76
Adoption of 2003 International Property Maintenance Code
Operative Text
The 2003 International Property Maintenance Code (First Printing: December 2002) is hereby adopted as the "Housing Maintenance and Occupancy Code of the Village."
Section 6-76 of Crete's Chapter 6, Article IV formally incorporates the 2003 International Property Maintenance Code (First Printing: December 2002) into local law as the Village's official Housing Maintenance and Occupancy Code. This means the standards, definitions, and requirements contained in that model code carry the force of local ordinance within Crete. The provision establishes the baseline framework governing how residential and other properties in the Village must be maintained and occupied.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Crete Ch. 6 Art. IV § 6-76, property owners and managers operating within the Village are subject to the full set of maintenance and occupancy standards set out in the 2003 International Property Maintenance Code. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with that code's requirements covering structural conditions, sanitation, mechanical systems, and occupancy limits. Keeping properties in conformance with the adopted code is the standard against which Village inspections and enforcement actions are measured.

Section 6-76 establishes that tenants in Crete are entitled to housing that meets the standards of the 2003 International Property Maintenance Code, which the Village has adopted as its local Housing Maintenance and Occupancy Code. When conditions in a rental unit appear to fall short of those standards, tenants generally have the option of reporting concerns to the Village's code enforcement or housing inspection office. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand which specific code provisions may apply to conditions they are experiencing.
