Evergreen Park ARTICLE VII. RENTAL HOUSING § 5-372
Revocation of Inspection Certificate
Operative Text
The Building Commissioner may revoke any Inspection Certificate if violations of the Property Maintenance Code exist. Notice of revocation shall be issued to the owner of the rental housing and provide for a period of 7 days for the owner to remedy the violations and to respond in writing concerning the violations. In the event that the owner requests a hearing in writing within the 7-day period, the Building Commissioner shall grant a hearing before revoking any Inspection Certificate. The owner shall have the right to appeal the revocation to the Mayor by filing a written notice of appeal within 7 days of the receipt of the final decision by the Building Commissioner. The Mayor shall conduct a hearing after providing notice to the owner and shall make a determination as to whether violations of the Property Maintenance Code exist such that the Inspection Certificate shall be revoked. (Am. Ord. No. 27-2025 § 1, 12-15-25)
Under Evergreen Park § 5-372, the Building Commissioner has authority to revoke an Inspection Certificate when Property Maintenance Code violations are found at a rental property. Before revocation takes effect, the owner receives written notice and a 7-day window to fix the violations or request a hearing. If the owner disagrees with the final decision, the matter can be appealed to the Mayor, who holds a separate hearing and makes an independent determination.

Operators of rental housing in Evergreen Park should be aware that § 5-372 gives the Building Commissioner the power to revoke an Inspection Certificate upon finding Property Maintenance Code violations. A compliant operator generally responds promptly to any revocation notice—either remedying cited violations within the 7-day notice period or submitting a written hearing request within that same window. If the Building Commissioner's final decision is unfavorable, operators typically preserve their options by filing a written appeal to the Mayor within 7 days of receiving that decision.
