Franklin Park — Title 8 Ch. 7 Vacant Properties § 8-7-11
Failure to comply with plan
Operative Text
Failure to have an approved plan within thirty (30) days of filing the registration form or failure to comply with the approved plan, at any time, shall constitute a violation of this chapter subjecting the owner of the building to penalties as provided in this chapter and to any remedies the village may avail itself of as provided for herein and elsewhere in this code, including, but not limited to, an action to compel correction of property maintenance violations.
Under Franklin Park Title 8 Ch. 7 Vacant Properties § 8-7-11, a property owner who fails to obtain an approved vacancy plan within 30 days of filing the registration form, or who fails to follow an already-approved plan at any point, is considered in violation of the chapter. That violation exposes the owner to the penalties and remedies established elsewhere in the chapter and code. The village retains the authority to pursue multiple enforcement tools, including legal action to force correction of property maintenance violations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Franklin Park Title 8 Ch. 7 Vacant Properties § 8-7-11 generally ensure that an approved plan is secured within 30 days of submitting the registration form and that all steps outlined in that plan are carried out on an ongoing basis. Compliant operators treat the approved plan as a living obligation rather than a one-time filing, monitoring progress to avoid falling out of compliance at any stage. Failure at either point—obtaining the plan or following it—can trigger penalties and village-initiated legal remedies, including compelled correction of maintenance violations.
