Park Ridge — Art. 22 Property Maintenance Code § 22-4-4
BATHING FACILITY
Operative Text
Within every dwelling unit there shall be a room which affords privacy to a person within said room and which is equipped with a bathtub or shower in good working condition. Said bathtub or shower may be in the same room as the flush water closet or in another room and shall be properly connected to a water supply system which is approved by the Housing Inspector and which provides at all times an adequate amount of heated and unheated water under pressure, and which is connected to a sewer system approved by the Housing Inspector. Water inlets for bathtubs shall be located above the overflow rim of these facilities.
Park Ridge Art. 22 § 22-4-4 requires that every dwelling unit contain a private room equipped with a functioning bathtub or shower. The fixture must be connected to an approved water supply that delivers both hot and cold water under pressure at all times, and must drain into an approved sewer system. For bathtubs specifically, the water inlet must be positioned above the tub's overflow rim as an additional safety and sanitation measure.

Under Park Ridge Art. 22 § 22-4-4, compliant property operators ensure that each dwelling unit contains a bathtub or shower housed in a room that provides privacy, and that the fixture is maintained in good working condition. Operators keep the water supply and sewer connections in a state that meets Housing Inspector approval, confirming that both heated and unheated water are available under pressure at all times. For bathtubs, landlords verify that water inlets are positioned above the overflow rim, as the code specifically requires this configuration.

Park Ridge Art. 22 § 22-4-4 gives occupants of every dwelling unit the right to a private bathing facility — a working bathtub or shower — with a continuously adequate supply of hot and cold pressurized water connected to an approved sewer system. If a bathing facility is missing, broken, or lacks proper water supply, this provision may be relevant to a housing code complaint filed with the Park Ridge Housing Inspector. Tenants who believe this standard is not being met can also contact a local tenant-rights organization to understand the range of options available to them.
