Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 152.06, the Building Inspector of the City of LaSalle is the primary authority responsible for inspecting and enforcing compliance with the residential rental property chapter. Operators who receive notices or orders from the Building Inspector or a city-designated Code Official are generally expected to respond within any timeframes specified in those communications. If a landlord disagrees with a Code Official's decision, the avenue for formal appeal runs through the Zoning Board of Appeals and, if necessary, the Circuit Court of LaSalle County.

Section § 152.06 establishes that the Building Inspector is the Code Official responsible for enforcing LaSalle's residential rental property standards, giving tenants a clear point of contact for reporting potential violations. Tenants who believe a landlord is not complying with Chapter 152 may consider contacting the Department of the Building Inspector to request an inspection or inquiry. If a decision is made by the Zoning Board of Appeals that affects a tenant's situation, § 152.06 also provides that such decisions may be reviewed by the Circuit Court of LaSalle County, and tenant-rights organizations can help explain what that process generally involves.
