Third Lake — Art. VI Landlord Registration § 10-190
Enforcement
Operative Text
The village shall enforce the terms of this article by any lawful means, including, but not limited to, proceedings in the circuit court. The village may refuse to issue any permits required by this Code for any construction, alteration, installation, razing or other work done in or on any building, as defined herein, or any certificate of occupancy required by this Code for such a building, unless the owner or other applicant for such permits or certificates presents proof of registration for the building. (Ord. No. 10-06-05, § 5, 6-21-2010)
Third Lake Village Code Art. VI Landlord Registration § 10-190 establishes that the village has broad authority to enforce its landlord registration article through any lawful means, up to and including circuit court proceedings. A key enforcement tool is the village's ability to withhold building permits and certificates of occupancy from owners who cannot demonstrate that their building is properly registered. This creates a practical link between registration compliance and the ability to carry out construction, alterations, installations, demolitions, or other permitted work on a covered building.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Third Lake Art. VI Landlord Registration § 10-190, property owners and managers who need to pull permits for construction, alterations, installations, or razing work—or who need a certificate of occupancy—are generally expected to have current proof of registration in hand before applying. Compliant operators typically maintain up-to-date registration records so that permit applications are not delayed or refused. Because the village may also pursue enforcement through circuit court, keeping registration current is a standard part of ongoing property management in Third Lake.

Third Lake Art. VI Landlord Registration § 10-190 gives the village enforcement authority that can directly affect the condition and legal status of a rental building. If a landlord has not registered a building, the village may block permits for repairs, renovations, or other work—which can be relevant context when tenants observe unpermitted or stalled work on their building. Tenants who believe their building may be out of compliance with registration requirements can contact the village directly, consult a local tenant-rights organization, or raise the registration status as relevant background when pursuing other housing complaints.
