University Park — Part XIV Title Six Housing § 1464-02
Application, issuance, contents, term and revocation of certificates
Operative Text
(a) Application for a certificate of occupancy, as required by Section 1464-01 , shall be made on forms supplied by the Village by the owner of the premises to be occupied. The owner shall supply information and data to determine compliance with applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations for the existing use or occupancy or intended use or occupancy. The application expires in one hundred eighty (180) days from the date that it was submitted. There will be no refund after ten (10) days of the application being submitted to the Code Enforcement Department. (b) If a dwelling unit, building or other structure is found to be in compliance with this Building and Housing Code and all other laws, ordinances, rules and regulations applicable thereto, the Commissioner of Code Enforcement and/or his or her designee shall cause to be issued a certificate of occupancy for the dwelling unit, building or other structure, which shall contain the following information: (1) The street address and unit number (if applicable) for the building and unit; (2) The name and address of the owner and, if the owner does not reside on the premises, the name and address of the resident agent in charge of the building or structure, and the name and address of the nonresident agent, if any; (3) The exact nature and extent of the use or occupancy authorized; and (4) The period for which such certificate of occupancy is issued. (c) The Commissioner of Code Enforcement and/or his or her designee shall have the power to revoke a certificate of occupancy if any false statement is made by the applicant in connection with the issuance of such certificate, for noncompliance of a structure or dwelling unit or its use with any of the requirements of this Building and Housing Code or if the owner, agent or person in charge of the structure refuses to comply with any applicable provision of this Building and Housing Code.
University Park § 1464-02 establishes the process for applying for, issuing, and revoking certificates of occupancy for residential and other structures. Applications must be submitted by the property owner on Village-supplied forms, expire after 180 days, and fees become non-refundable after 10 days. Once a structure is found compliant with applicable codes, the Commissioner of Code Enforcement issues a certificate containing key details about the property, its authorized use, and its validity period — but that certificate can be revoked if false information was provided or if the owner fails to maintain compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 1464-02, compliant property owners in University Park submit a complete certificate of occupancy application on Village-supplied forms, providing accurate information about the property's use and occupancy. Operators are mindful that applications lapse after 180 days and that fees are non-refundable after the first 10 days, so timely and accurate submissions are characteristic of well-managed properties. Maintaining ongoing compliance with the Building and Housing Code is also essential, since the Commissioner of Code Enforcement holds authority to revoke a certificate if false statements were made or if code requirements are not met.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 1464-02 means that a dwelling unit in University Park should have a valid certificate of occupancy issued by the Commissioner of Code Enforcement, confirming the unit meets applicable building and housing codes. Tenants who have concerns about whether their unit holds a current, valid certificate may contact the Village's Code Enforcement Department to inquire about a property's compliance status. If a certificate was improperly issued or a unit appears to be out of compliance, tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what options — such as raising a code-compliance issue with the appropriate local authority — may be available to them.
