Lynwood — Ch. 18 Art. II Minimum Standards Codes § 18-112
Violations and penalties
Operative Text
(a) Whoever violates any of the provisions of the 2008 National Electrical Code and any of the provisions of the rules and regulations of the Commonwealth Edison Company, adopted by this section shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to penalties as set forth in section 1-10 . Each day any violation of the provisions of the 2008 National Electrical Code and the rules and regulations of the Commonwealth Edison Company, adopted by this section shall constitute a separate offense. (b) Any person, firm or corporation who violates, disobeys, omits, neglects or refuses to comply with or who resists the enforcement of any of the provisions of this Code shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, be subject to penalties as set forth in section 1-10 . Each day that a violation is permitted to exist shall constitute a separate offense.
Section 18-112 of Lynwood's Chapter 18, Article II establishes that violations of the 2008 National Electrical Code, Commonwealth Edison Company rules, or any other provision of the Minimum Standards Code are punishable offenses. Penalties are determined by reference to the general penalty schedule in Section 1-10 of the Lynwood Municipal Code. Critically, each calendar day that a violation continues is treated as a separate, independent offense, meaning penalties can accumulate over time until the violation is corrected.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Lynwood's Chapter 18, Article II should be aware that non-compliance with the 2008 National Electrical Code, Commonwealth Edison Company regulations, or any other provision of the Minimum Standards Code can trigger penalties under Section 1-10 on a per-day basis. Compliant operators generally conduct regular inspections of electrical systems and promptly address any identified deficiencies to avoid the compounding effect of daily violations under § 18-112. Maintaining documentation of corrective actions and timelines is a practice commonly associated with demonstrating good-faith compliance efforts.

Under § 18-112 of Lynwood's Minimum Standards Code, tenants living in units with unresolved electrical or other code violations may have grounds to report those conditions to local code enforcement, since each day a violation persists can constitute a separate offense. Tenants who believe their housing does not meet the standards referenced in this section—including the 2008 National Electrical Code or Commonwealth Edison Company rules—can generally contact the City of Lynwood's code enforcement office to initiate an inspection. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand how documented code violations may be relevant to housing complaints or other available remedies.
