Rock Island ARTICLE VI. RENTAL PROPERTIES § 4-47
Penalty For Violation
Operative Text
See section 10-107.11 “Schedule of Penalties for Ordinance Violations” of this Code. (Ord. 76-2025, 8-11-2025)
Section 4-47 of Rock Island's Article VI on Rental Properties establishes that violations of the rental property rules carry penalties defined elsewhere in the municipal code. Specifically, the provision directs readers to the city's general penalty schedule found at § 10-107.11, "Schedule of Penalties for Ordinance Violations," rather than setting out its own dollar amounts. This cross-reference means the consequences for rental property violations are governed by the same standardized penalty framework that applies to other city ordinance infractions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Rock Island's Article VI rental property rules should be aware that § 4-47 ties enforcement consequences directly to the city's centralized penalty schedule at § 10-107.11. Operators who maintain compliant rental properties—keeping up with inspections, habitability standards, and other Article VI requirements—generally avoid exposure to those scheduled fines. Reviewing § 10-107.11 alongside Article VI gives a complete picture of the financial stakes attached to any specific rental property obligation.
