Evergreen Park ARTICLE VII. RENTAL HOUSING § 5-384
Enforcement
Operative Text
(a) Rental units found to be out of compliance after an Administrative Adjudication hearing or by an appropriate court order with this or other applicable codes or ordinances shall lose rental status, shall have the license and registration refused or revoked, and shall not be occupied until brought back into compliance. Tenant removal shall be the responsibility of the building owner. (b) In addition to any other remedies provided by law, the Village may terminate water and sanitary sewer service to any building which is not registered as required by this Division. (Ord. No. 27-2025 § 1, 12-15-25)
Evergreen Park § 5-384 establishes enforcement consequences for rental units that fail to meet applicable codes or ordinances. Under this provision, a unit found out of compliance through an Administrative Adjudication hearing or court order loses its rental status, and its license or registration may be refused or revoked, barring occupancy until compliance is restored. Separately, the Village is authorized to cut off water and sanitary sewer service to any building that has not completed the required registration under this Division.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Evergreen Park § 5-384, compliant operators maintain current registrations and promptly address any code or ordinance violations to avoid losing rental status or having licenses revoked. If a unit is found out of compliance, the building owner bears responsibility for arranging tenant removal — a process that carries significant operational and legal weight. Operators also ensure buildings remain registered, since unregistered properties are subject to termination of water and sanitary sewer service by the Village.

Evergreen Park § 5-384 affects tenants when a rental unit is found out of compliance following an Administrative Adjudication hearing or court order, as the unit may lose its rental status and become unfit for occupancy. Tenants in such situations may have rights and options worth exploring, including contacting the Village of Evergreen Park directly to understand the status of a unit's registration or compliance standing. Consulting a local tenant-rights organization can help tenants understand what protections or remedies may be available when a landlord's noncompliance affects their housing.
