Gilberts — Title 9 Ch. 6 Art. A Dangerous, Unsafe Structures § 9-6A-4
Injunction
Operative Text
If the village building official determines, upon due investigation, that any building or structure fails to conform to the minimum standards of health or safety as set forth in this article or that any building or structure has been damaged by fire, decay or other cause to the extent of at least 50 percent of its value, as appears on the books of the county assessor at the time of enforcement proceedings, and the owner or owners of such building or structure fail to cause such property so to conform, the village may make application to the circuit court for an injunction requiring compliance with such provisions of this article or for such other order as the court may deem necessary or appropriate to secure such compliance.
Under Gilberts Title 9 Ch. 6 Art. A § 9-6A-4, when the village building official finds—after a formal investigation—that a building fails to meet minimum health or safety standards, or has sustained damage equal to at least 50 percent of its assessed value, and the owner does not bring the property into compliance, the village is authorized to seek a court injunction. That injunction can compel the owner to comply with the article's requirements, or a circuit court may issue whatever other order it considers necessary to achieve compliance. The provision gives the village a judicial enforcement tool beyond administrative action alone.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners in Gilberts should be aware that under § 9-6A-4, a failure to address health or safety deficiencies—or significant fire or decay damage reaching the 50-percent-of-assessed-value threshold—can trigger a circuit court injunction sought by the village. Compliant operators generally respond promptly to any notice of violation issued by the village building official and document all remediation work. Maintaining properties in conformance with the minimum standards outlined in Title 9 Ch. 6 Art. A is the most straightforward way to avoid court-ordered compliance proceedings.

Tenants living in a building that may not meet the minimum health or safety standards described in Gilberts Title 9 Ch. 6 Art. A § 9-6A-4 should know that the village itself has the authority to pursue a circuit court injunction against a non-compliant owner. Reporting concerns to the village building official can initiate the investigation process that this provision relies upon. Tenants may also wish to consult a tenant-rights organization to understand what additional local or state remedies might be available alongside the village's enforcement authority.
