Dolton's § 123.006 establishes four categories of violations under the residential property licensing subchapter: failing to obtain a required rental license, failing to maintain the property in compliance with village regulations, removing or defacing posted notices, and violating other licensing requirements. Enforcement proceedings follow the village's adjudication system for service and notice. A managing agent or rent collector who receives a violation notice can avoid personal liability by notifying the property owner or employer within five days and delivering a copy of that notice, with proof of service, to the Building Commissioner.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 123.006, compliant rental property owners in Dolton generally ensure their properties are licensed, keep structures and premises up to applicable village standards, and leave any officially posted notices intact. Owners who use managing agents or rent collectors should be aware that those agents have a five-day window to pass along violation notices to the owner and the Building Commissioner in order to shift liability. Penalties for violations are referenced in § 123.999 of the Dolton village code.

Section § 123.006 defines the obligations landlords must meet, including holding a valid rental license and maintaining the property to village standards — conditions that directly affect tenant living conditions. If a landlord appears to be operating without a license or allowing the property to fall out of compliance, tenants may look into the village's administrative adjudication process as a potential avenue for raising these issues. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Dolton's local code can help residents understand how § 123.006 violations might be relevant to their situation.
