Le Roy, Ill., Mun. Code ch. 9-8 § 9-8-6

[ 3-4-2024 by Ord. No. 24-03-02-53 ] A. Upon submitting a certificate of compliance application, the owner shall schedule with the City an inspection of the residential rental property. B. Each inspection made by the Code Official shall be for the purpose of determining compliance with the Code. C. The Code Official shall issue a certificate of compliance only upon finding that there is no condition that would constitute a hazard to the health and safety of the occupants and the residential rental property is otherwise fit for occupancy. If such findings are not made, the Code Official shall issue a notice to comply to the owner or property agent. Upon reinspection and evidence of compliance, the Code Official shall issue a certificate of compliance. D. The Code Official shall issue certificates of compliance on the condition that the residential rental property remains in a safe, habitable, and code-compliant condition. If upon reinspection the City determines that conditions exist which constitute a hazard to the occupants' health or safety, the City may immediately suspend or revoke the certificate of compliance by mailing notice to the owner or property agent. E. The Code Official shall maintain a City-wide plan of all residential rental properties occupied or held or offered for occupancy based on certificate of compliance applications and other reasonably available information. F. The Code Official shall establish and maintain a schedule of inspections necessary to carry out the intent and purpose of this chapter. G. In the event an owner, property agent, or occupant of a residential rental property refuses to allow the Code Official to inspect a residential rental property, schedule a time to inspect the residential rental property, or otherwise fails to comply with the Code, the City reserves all remedies to secure compliance with this chapter, including, without limitation, seeking an administrative search warrant or suspending or revoking an owner's certificate of compliance. H. Violations discovered during inspection shall be identified in a written notice to the owner or the property agent. If the identity of the owner cannot be readily ascertained, the notice shall be mailed to the last taxpayer of record shown on the records of the McLean County Treasurer and Tax Collector. Violation notices shall be mailed to the owner or property agent within 30 days of their discovery by the Code Official. I. The Code Official shall complete as many reinspections as are reasonably necessary to ensure that appropriate corrective action has been taken to bring the residential rental property into compliance with the Code.
