Rantoul — Ch. 10 Art. XII Property Maintenance Code § 10-413
Issuance of certificate of inspection
Operative Text
(a) Upon the first and each subsequent inspection, the village inspector shall cause written notice to be given to the owner, or to any manager or agent on behalf of such owner, of the results of such inspection, including a list of deficiencies of all such applicable violations of the property maintenance code found to exist, if any, within five business days of the inspection. Such notice shall be personally delivered or mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, to: (1) The owner and the manager or agent, if any, at the address specified in the registration statement; and (2) Any occupants who have requested a copy of such notice at the address of each applicable rental residential unit. Any owner who fails to register a rental residential premises as provided in this division shall be deemed to consent to receiving such notice by means of having a copy of such notice posted at the rental residential premises. (b) If, upon completion of an inspection, a rental residential premises has no violations and provided the registration statement for such rental residential premises is on file with the inspection department and the applicable registration fee and any other applicable reinspection fee as provided in this division have been paid to the village, then the village inspector shall issue a certificate of inspection for such rental residential premises. (c) If, upon completion of an inspection, a rental residential premises has violations, the owner, upon receipt of the notice specified in this section, shall: (1) When the rental residential premises has no violations that pose a threat to the life, health and safety of any occupant, correct all such deficiencies and advise the inspection department in writing that all such deficiencies will be completed within a timetable that is acceptable to the village inspector but does not exceed a period of 90 days (any such timetable may include multiple timelines such that those more serious deficiencies which require a shorter period of time shall be corrected first while the owner is allowed more time to correct less urgent deficiencies); upon notice to the inspection department that all remedial action addressing such deficiencies noted in the notice has been completed within such timetable, accompanied by any applicable reinspection fee as provided in this division, the village inspector shall cause the rental residential premises to be reinspected. (2) If, upon a finding that all deficiencies have been corrected upon a reinspection of a residential premises, and provided the registration statement for such rental registration premises is on file with the inspection department and the applicable registration fee and any applicable reinspection fees have been paid to the village, then the village inspector shall issue a certificate of inspection for the rental residential premises. (3) When the rental residential premises has critical violations and is either unsafe, contains unsafe equipment, is unfit for human occupancy or is unlawful under section 108 of the property maintenance code, the village inspector shall take such action as may be required under the applicable provisions of the property maintenance code to cause such residential rental premises to be condemned, and shall not issue any certificate of occupancy until all deficiencies have been corrected.
Rantoul's Ch. 10 Art. XII § 10-413 establishes the process by which the village inspector communicates inspection results and issues—or withholds—certificates of inspection for rental residential properties. After each inspection, written notice of any code deficiencies must be delivered to the owner and, upon request, to occupants within five business days. A certificate of inspection is issued only when all violations are resolved, fees are paid, and a current registration statement is on file; properties with critical safety violations may be condemned and denied a certificate until every deficiency is corrected.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 10-413, compliant rental property operators keep their registration statements current with the inspection department and promptly pay all required registration and reinspection fees, since both are prerequisites for receiving a certificate of inspection. When non-critical violations are cited, operators typically submit a written remediation timetable to the inspection department—one that addresses more serious deficiencies first and does not exceed 90 days total—and notify the department in writing once corrections are complete. Owners who have not registered their property should be aware that § 10-413 treats non-registration as consent to receive inspection notices by posting at the premises, which can affect how quickly an owner learns of cited violations.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 10-413 gives occupants the right to request a copy of the written inspection notice, which will be mailed to their unit address and will list any code deficiencies found during the inspection. If a property is found to have critical violations that make it unsafe or unfit for human occupancy, the provision directs the village inspector to pursue condemnation proceedings rather than issue a certificate of inspection. Tenants who have concerns about whether their landlord has received and acted on a deficiency notice under § 10-413 may contact the Rantoul inspection department directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
