PROSECUTION OF VIOLATIONS; INJUNCTIONS
Operative Text
Violations of this chapter are subject to prosecution under the Village administrative adjudication proceedings established pursuant to title 1, chapter 4, article A of this Code, as now or hereafter amended. The provisions of this section shall not preclude the Village from using other methods or proceedings to adjudicate alleged violations of this chapter including, without limitation, the institution of an action in the Circuit Court of Cook County, or before another administrative tribunal which has jurisdiction to consider the violation. In the event that a person commits repeated violations of this chapter, the Village may institute an action to enjoin such person from committing further violations of this chapter. In the event such action is instituted and an injunction is issued, the person whose conduct is enjoined shall be required to compensate the Village for the attorney fees and other costs incurred in obtaining the injunction. (Ord. 2007-3-6H, 3-6-2007)
Rosemont CHAPTER 5: RESIDENTIAL RENTAL REGULATIONS § 4-5-16 establishes that violations of the Village's residential rental regulations can be prosecuted through the Village's own administrative adjudication process, through Cook County Circuit Court, or before another tribunal with appropriate jurisdiction. The Village is not limited to a single enforcement path and may choose whichever proceeding is appropriate. Additionally, when someone repeatedly violates the chapter, the Village may seek a court injunction to stop further violations, and if that injunction is granted, the violator can be required to pay the Village's attorney fees and related costs.
