University Park — Part XIV Title Six Housing § 1460-01
IPMC Adopted
Operative Text
The Village of University Park (the "Village") hereby adopts and incorporates the provisions of the 2006 edition of the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), published by the International Code Council (ICC), and all periodic successor and replacement parts of said code in furtherance of its power to regulate for the public health, safety and welfare and for the purposes of: (a) Regulating and governing the conditions and maintenance of all property, buildings and structures in the Village; (b) Providing the standards for supplied utilities and facilities and other physical things and conditions essential to ensure that structures are safe, sanitary and fit for occupation and use in the Village; (c) Regulating the condemnation of buildings and structures in the Village unfit for human occupancy and use, and the demolition of such existing structures as herein provided; and, (d) Providing for the issuance of permits and collection of fees therefor. Each and all of the regulations, provisions, penalties, conditions and terms of said IPMC on file in the office of the Village Clerk are hereby referred to, adopted, and made a part hereof, as if fully set out in this Chapter, with the additions, insertions, deletions and changes, if any, prescribed in Section 1460-04 of this Chapter. The provisions of the IPMC as amended and republished from time to time shall be the property maintenance code of the Village except in cases where the provisions of the IPMC have been revised or modified by Village ordinance, in which case, the Village ordinance shall supersede and control.
University Park § 1460-01 formally adopts the 2006 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), published by the International Code Council, as the governing standard for property conditions throughout the Village. The code sets baseline requirements for the upkeep of buildings and structures, the adequacy of utilities and facilities, and the process for condemning or demolishing properties deemed unfit for occupancy. Where the Village has enacted its own ordinances that differ from the IPMC, those local ordinances take precedence over the base code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under University Park § 1460-01, property owners and managers are expected to maintain all buildings and structures in compliance with the standards established by the adopted IPMC, including requirements related to utilities, sanitation, and structural fitness. Compliant operators generally keep current with any Village ordinance amendments that modify or supersede specific IPMC provisions, since local rules control where conflicts exist. The full text of the adopted code is on file with the Village Clerk's office and serves as the authoritative reference for maintenance obligations.

University Park § 1460-01 establishes the IPMC as the minimum maintenance standard that rental properties in the Village must meet, covering conditions such as structural safety, sanitation, and the provision of essential utilities. Tenants who believe a property falls below these standards may have grounds to raise a code-compliance concern with the appropriate Village authority responsible for property maintenance enforcement. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid resources can help residents understand how the IPMC standards apply to specific housing conditions and what complaint or enforcement paths may be available.
