North Chicago — Title 12 Ch. 2 Condominium Conversion § 12-2-7
CERTIFICATE ISSUANCE:
Operative Text
After the inspection, as provided for above, has been completed and compliance with current codes has been ascertained or waived, the Building Commissioner shall issue a certificate of inspection to the applicant with respect to the common elements and a certificate of inspection with respect to each unit inspected. All of the certificates issued shall include therein a specification of each separate condition of noncompliance which has been waived. The Commissioner shall also issue to such applicant clear and legible copies of said certificates suitable for posting.
Under North Chicago Title 12, Chapter 2, § 12-2-7, once a building inspection is complete and code compliance has either been confirmed or formally waived, the Building Commissioner is required to issue certificates of inspection covering both the common areas and each individual unit that was inspected. Each certificate must clearly list any code deficiencies that were waived rather than corrected. The Commissioner must also provide the applicant with clean, legible copies of these certificates that are suitable for posting.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators pursuing a condominium conversion under § 12-2-7 should expect to receive separate certificates of inspection for common elements and for each inspected unit once the Building Commissioner has completed the review process. Compliant operators ensure they obtain the posting-quality copies the Commissioner is required to provide, and they retain records of any waived conditions listed on those certificates. Keeping these documents accessible and properly posted is a standard part of managing a conversion project in compliance with North Chicago Title 12, Chapter 2.

Section § 12-2-7 of North Chicago's condominium conversion rules entitles residents and prospective buyers to transparency about the inspection results, including any code deficiencies that were waived rather than fixed, since those waivers must appear on the posted certificates. If you are in a building undergoing conversion, you can review the posted certificates to see whether any noncompliance conditions were waived during the inspection process. Tenant-rights organizations or a housing attorney can help you understand what waived conditions may mean for a unit you occupy or are considering purchasing.
