That certain document, three copies of which are on file in the office of the village clerk and the village, being marked and designated as the International Property Maintenance Code, 2018 edition, as published by the International Code Council, Inc., is hereby adopted as the property maintenance code of the village for the control of buildings and structures as herein provided; and each and all of the regulations, provisions, penalties, conditions and terms of said International Property Maintenance Code, 2018 edition, are hereby referred to, adopted and made a part hereof as if fully set out in this article, with the additions, insertions, deletions and changes, if any, prescribed in section 8-203 .
Section 8-202 of Shabbona's Code formally adopts the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), 2018 edition, as the village's official standard for the upkeep of buildings and structures. By incorporating the IPMC by reference, all of its regulations, penalties, and conditions carry the same legal weight as if they were written directly into the village code. Any local modifications to the base IPMC text are addressed separately under Section 8-203.

Under Shabbona Ch. 8 Art. IX § 8-202, property owners and managers are held to the full set of standards contained in the 2018 International Property Maintenance Code, including its maintenance, safety, and occupancy requirements. Compliant operators typically keep copies of the IPMC on hand—three official copies are maintained at the village clerk's office—and stay aware of any local amendments introduced by Section 8-203. Familiarity with both the base code and any local modifications helps operators understand what inspections and maintenance obligations apply to their properties.

Section 8-202 establishes that Shabbona has adopted the 2018 International Property Maintenance Code, which sets baseline standards for the condition and safety of residential buildings. Tenants who believe a property falls short of those standards may reference this provision when raising concerns with village officials or code enforcement. Copies of the adopted code are available at the village clerk's office, and tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand how the IPMC's requirements may apply to their housing conditions.
