Evergreen Park ARTICLE VII. RENTAL HOUSING § 5-371
Issuance of Inspection Certificate
Operative Text
An Inspection Certificate shall be issued by the Building Commissioner after the rental housing has been inspected after the registration of such rental housing as required by Division 1 hereof. An Inspection Certificate shall be issued if the Building Commissioner determines that the rental housing complies with the provisions of the Property Maintenance Code. In the event that an inspection or other evidence shows that the rental housing does not comply with the Property Maintenance Code, the Building Commissioner shall issue a deficiency report and permit the deficiencies to be remedied in a period of time set forth therein. A reinspection of the rental housing shall be made and an Inspection Certificate issued if the rental housing is brought into compliance. (Am. Ord. No. 27-2025 § 1, 12-15-25)
Under Evergreen Park ARTICLE VII § 5-371, rental housing must be inspected by the Building Commissioner following registration, and an Inspection Certificate is issued only when the property is found to comply with the Property Maintenance Code. If deficiencies are found during inspection or through other evidence, the Building Commissioner issues a deficiency report and sets a remediation timeline. Once corrections are made, a reinspection is conducted and the certificate is issued upon confirmed compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Compliant operators under § 5-371 ensure their rental properties are registered and ready for inspection by the Building Commissioner, with all conditions meeting the Property Maintenance Code before the inspection takes place. If a deficiency report is issued, operators generally address each cited item within the timeframe specified in that report and then request a reinspection to obtain the Inspection Certificate. Maintaining documentation of repairs and correspondence with the Building Commissioner's office is a common practice among operators navigating this process.

Tenants who believe their unit has unresolved code deficiencies may inquire with the Building Commissioner's office about the property's inspection and certificate status.
