Prospect Heights CHAPTER 7 PROPERTY RENTAL CODE § 3-7-4
REVOCATION OF LICENSE
Operative Text
Any license or permit may be revoked by the city council during the life of such license or permit for the violation by the licensee or permittee of any ordinance provisions relating to the license or permit, the subject of the license or permit, or the premises occupied; such revocation may be in addition to any fine imposed. This section shall not apply to any license or permit for which a specific procedure for revocation of such license or permit is provided by another ordinance of the city. (Ord. 0-87-26, 8-17-1987)
Under Prospect Heights CHAPTER 7 PROPERTY RENTAL CODE § 3-7-4, the city council holds authority to revoke any rental license or permit during its active term if the holder is found to have violated ordinance provisions connected to that license, its subject matter, or the licensed premises. A revocation can be imposed on top of any monetary fine already assessed, meaning both penalties may apply simultaneously. This provision does not override other city ordinances that establish their own specific revocation procedures for particular license types.

Prospect Heights CHAPTER 7 PROPERTY RENTAL CODE § 3-7-4 means that property owners and managers holding a rental license or permit face the possibility of losing that authorization mid-term if ordinance violations are found — and that loss can come in addition to any fines levied. Compliant operators generally maintain their properties and operations in accordance with all applicable ordinance requirements tied to their license, its subject matter, and the licensed premises. Keeping thorough records of inspections, repairs, and communications with the city is a practice commonly associated with operators who remain in good standing.
