North Aurora — Title 15 Ch. 15.22 Adoption of the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code § 15.22.050
Penalties
Operative Text
Any person, firm, corporation, or entity who violates any provision of this chapter shall, in addition to any other fines, penalties, fees or remedies set forth elsewhere in this Code or in applicable law, be subject to a fine of not less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) nor more than one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) for each violation. Each day on which a violation shall continue to exist shall be deemed to constitute a separate offense under this chapter. In addition, the Village shall have the right to file suit to compel the demolition, repair, or enclosure of work, buildings, or structures in violation of this chapter, to obtain an injunction requiring compliance with this chapter or to obtain the recovery of costs incurred by the Village in causing compliance with this chapter, all as provided for by 65 ILCS 5/11-31-1 et seq. of the Illinois Municipal Code.
Under North Aurora Title 15, Chapter 15.22, Section 15.22.050, any person, firm, corporation, or entity that violates the adopted 2021 International Property Maintenance Code is subject to a fine ranging from $100 to $1,000 for each violation. Critically, every day a violation continues is treated as a separate offense, meaning fines can accumulate rapidly over time. Beyond monetary penalties, the Village of North Aurora also holds the authority to pursue legal action — including seeking injunctions, compelling repairs or demolition, or recovering costs it incurs in bringing a property into compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in North Aurora should be aware that Section 15.22.050 establishes a daily fine structure, meaning an unresolved code violation can generate compounding penalties of $100 to $1,000 for each day it remains uncorrected. Operators who maintain properties in continuous compliance with the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code — promptly addressing any cited deficiencies — generally avoid the escalating fines and potential court-ordered remediation authorized under this section. Keeping thorough records of inspections, repairs, and communications with the Village can help demonstrate good-faith compliance efforts.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants living in properties that may have maintenance or structural deficiencies should know that Section 15.22.050 gives the Village of North Aurora the authority to impose significant daily fines on violating property owners and to seek court orders compelling repairs. If a property appears to be in violation of the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code, tenants can report concerns to the Village, which has independent enforcement authority under this section.
