Tinley Park CHAPTER 129F: RESIDENTIAL RENTAL LICENSE § 129F.06
INSPECTION REQUIRED
Operative Text
No residential rental license shall be issued or renewed unless the building in connection with which the license is sought is found after inspection to meet all applicable laws and regulations. The inspection required by this section shall be an inspection of the exterior and public areas of the building only and shall not include the inspection of the interior of any dwelling unit. The owner will be provided with an inspection report describing any condition which constitutes a violation of any applicable law or regulation, and shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to correct any such conditions. In the event that more than two follow-up inspections are required to determine compliance, the applicant shall pay an additional noncompliance inspection service charge of $100 for each additional inspection. Payment must be made in full prior to issuance of the license. Inspections pursuant to this section shall not be required for single family homes or rental properties with two or fewer units. (Ord. 2008-O-008, passed 5-6-08; Am. Ord. 2012-O-033, passed 8-21- 12; Am. Ord. 2024-O-004, passed 1-16-24)
Under Tinley Park § 129F.06, a residential rental license cannot be issued or renewed unless the property passes an inspection confirming it meets all applicable laws and regulations. The inspection covers only the exterior and common areas of the building — not the interior of individual dwelling units. If more than two follow-up inspections are needed to confirm compliance, a $100 fee is charged for each additional inspection beyond that threshold. This requirement does not apply to single-family homes or rental properties with two or fewer units.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 129F.06, operators of qualifying rental properties in Tinley Park generally ensure their building's exterior and public areas are in full compliance with applicable laws before applying for or renewing a residential rental license. Upon receiving an inspection report identifying violations, a compliant operator addresses those conditions within the reasonable correction period provided. Keeping the number of follow-up inspections to two or fewer avoids the $100-per-additional-inspection noncompliance service charge, and any outstanding fees must be paid in full before a license is issued.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section § 129F.06 establishes that landlords of qualifying rental properties must pass an exterior and common-area inspection before a residential rental license is issued or renewed, which provides a baseline assurance that the building meets applicable standards. Tenants can check whether their building holds a current rental license as one indicator of whether this inspection process has been completed. Tenants who have concerns about compliance with § 129F.06 may contact the Village of Tinley Park's relevant licensing or code enforcement office, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on available options.
