Tampico — Title 15 Ch. 15.18 Property Maintenance Code § 15.18.011
Adoption (Existing Building Code)
Operative Text
A. There is hereby adopted as the existing building code of the village, for purposes of regulating and governing repair, alteration, change of occupancy, addition, and relocation of existing buildings, including historic buildings, as provided therein, and providing for the issuance of permits and collection of fees therefore, that certain documents entitled "International Existing Building Code, 2021 Edition" (referred to herein as the "2021 IEBC") as published by the International Code Council including thereto the 2021 Errata sheet, regulations, provisions, penalties, conditions and terms of said 2021 IEBC, as on file in the office of the building official, are hereby referred to, adopted and made a part hereof as if fully set out in this division, with the additions, insertions, deletions and changes as prescribed in subsection (b) of this section. B. The following sections of the 2021 IEBC are hereby revised by completion of blanks therein as follows: 1. Section 101.1. Insert: Village of Tampico, Illinois. 2. Any reference within the 2021 IEBC to any plumbing code shall mean the Illinois Plumbing Code. 3. Section 1402.2 Applicability. Structures existing prior to 1985, (rest of section remains unchanged).
Section 15.18.011 of Tampico's Title 15 formally incorporates the International Existing Building Code, 2021 Edition (2021 IEBC) into the Village's local law, making it the governing standard for repair, alteration, occupancy changes, additions, and relocations of existing and historic buildings. The Village has tailored the 2021 IEBC with specific local insertions, including naming the Village of Tampico, Illinois, substituting the Illinois Plumbing Code for any referenced plumbing code, and setting 1985 as the threshold year for applicability under Section 1402.2. Permits and fees for covered work are issued and collected under this adopted framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in Tampico should be aware that under § 15.18.011, any repair, alteration, change of occupancy, addition, or relocation of an existing or historic building is governed by the 2021 IEBC as locally amended. Compliant operators generally obtain the required permits from the building official's office before commencing covered work and ensure that plumbing-related work conforms to the Illinois Plumbing Code rather than any other plumbing standard referenced in the 2021 IEBC. Owners of structures built before 1985 should note that Section 1402.2, as adopted under § 15.18.011, specifically addresses applicability for those older buildings.

Tenants living in existing or historic buildings in Tampico may find § 15.18.011 relevant when repairs, alterations, or other covered work are performed on their building, as such work must comply with the 2021 IEBC as locally adopted. If work appears to be proceeding without proper permits or in a manner inconsistent with the adopted code, tenants can generally inquire with the Village's building official, whose office maintains the official copy of the 2021 IEBC on file. Tenant-rights organizations or legal aid resources can help residents understand how the standards under § 15.18.011 may relate to habitability or other concerns in their building.
