('73 Code, § 16-97) (Ord. 94-1890, passed 10-11-94; Am. Ord. 99-2148, passed 1-12-99; Am. Ord. 18-4110, passed 12-20-18)Schiller Park CHAPTER 98: RESIDENTIAL RENTAL DWELLINGS § 98.99 establishes that any violation of Chapter 98's residential rental dwelling rules is classified as a petty offense. Violators may be fined between $100 and $750 for each offense. Critically, every day that a violation continues is treated as a separate, independently punishable offense, meaning fines can accumulate over time.

Under § 98.99, property owners and managers in Schiller Park face fines ranging from $100 to $750 for each day a Chapter 98 violation remains unresolved. Compliant operators generally act promptly to correct any identified deficiencies, since the per-day structure means ongoing non-compliance compounds the financial exposure. Maintaining thorough records of corrective actions taken can help demonstrate good-faith efforts to meet the chapter's requirements.
