Heating
Operative Text
All such premises shall be kept heated between October 1 and May 1 to a temperature of not less than 68 degrees Fahrenheit between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., and to a temperature of not less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit at all other times.
East Peoria Title 3 Ch. 17 § 3-17-11 establishes minimum indoor temperature requirements for rooming houses during the heating season. From October 1 through April 30, covered premises must maintain at least 68°F between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., and at least 60°F during overnight and early-morning hours. The rule applies throughout the entire heating season regardless of outdoor conditions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rooming houses subject to § 3-17-11 are generally expected to maintain functioning heating systems capable of meeting two distinct temperature thresholds across the October 1–May 1 period. Compliant operators typically monitor indoor temperatures during both daytime hours (68°F minimum, 7 a.m.–10 p.m.) and overnight hours (60°F minimum) and service heating equipment proactively before the season begins. Keeping maintenance records and temperature logs can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.

Under East Peoria Title 3 Ch. 17 § 3-17-11, residents of rooming houses have a right to adequate heat throughout the October 1–May 1 heating season, with specific minimums tied to time of day. If a rooming house is not meeting these temperature standards, tenants may consider documenting the conditions—such as recording temperatures with timestamps—and reporting the issue to the appropriate East Peoria municipal code enforcement authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local housing codes can help residents understand what options may be available to them.
