Under Hoffman Estates Ch. 8 Art. 13 § 8-13-7, owners of licensed residential rental properties are required to maintain accurate records covering all repairs, alterations, and changes tied to the licensing provisions, as well as any corrections made following Village inspections. These records must be made available to the Building Official upon request. The rule establishes an ongoing documentation obligation that runs alongside the property's rental license.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Compliance with § 8-13-7 generally means maintaining a running log of all repairs, alterations, and code-correction work performed at the licensed property, including any fixes made in response to Village inspection findings. Organized operators typically keep these records on-site or readily accessible so they can be produced promptly when the Building Official asks. Maintaining clear, dated documentation—such as work orders, contractor invoices, and inspection correspondence—supports a smooth compliance record under this section.
