Glasford — Ch. 16 Human Relations and Social Services § 16-24
Complaints against the village
Operative Text
Any person aggrieved in any manner by a violation by the village, its officers, or employees, of any ordinance under the jurisdiction of the commission shall follow the complaint, conciliation and hearing procedures established in sections 16-22 and 16-25 (a) and shall comply with the limitation requirement established in section 16-23 . Sections 16-25 (b) and 16-26 , concerning recommendations and enforcement, however, shall be inapplicable. Instead, at the conclusion of the hearing, the commission may render a written report and recommendations to such state or federal agencies as the commission deems necessary and appropriate, and in such event shall serve copies by mail upon the complainant, parties charged, and the village board of trustees. No report shall be delayed more than 60 days after the date of the first issuance of notice for commencement of a hearing.
Under Glasford Ch. 16 § 16-24, when a complaint is filed against the village itself, its officers, or employees for an ordinance violation, the standard complaint, conciliation, and hearing procedures still apply — but the usual enforcement and recommendation steps do not. Instead, after the hearing concludes, the commission may issue a written report and forward recommendations to relevant state or federal agencies, with copies sent to all parties and the village board of trustees. This report must be issued no later than 60 days after the first hearing notice is sent.
Plain English — not legal advice.
This provision, Glasford Ch. 16 § 16-24, primarily governs complaints directed at the village government rather than private landlords, but property owners and managers operating within Glasford should be aware that the commission's authority and procedural framework extend to village actors as well. Compliant operators generally stay informed about the full scope of the commission's jurisdiction, including how complaints against the village are processed differently from those against private parties. Understanding these distinctions helps operators contextualize the commission's overall role in local human relations enforcement.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under Glasford Ch. 16 § 16-24, tenants or other individuals who believe the village, its officers, or employees have violated a relevant ordinance have a defined path to raise that grievance through the commission's complaint and hearing process. While the standard enforcement mechanisms do not apply in these cases, the commission can still produce a formal written report and refer recommendations to state or federal agencies — providing a potential avenue for broader accountability. Those considering this path may benefit from consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource familiar with local human relations procedures.
