Fees
Operative Text
(a) The fee for an inspection prior to re-occupancy shall be: (1) For a single family unit -- Two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00). a. Provided, however, that where the record title holder or beneficial owner, in the event that record title is held in a land trust, resides within the jurisdiction of the Village, said fee shall be one hundred dollars ($100.00); (2) For a unit in a multi-family dwelling unit licensed under Chapter 1468 of the Codified Ordinances -- Fifty dollars ($50.00). (3) For a unit in a dedicated senior citizens or handicapped multi-family dwelling unit licensed under Chapter 1468 of the Codified Ordinances -- Twenty-five dollars ($25.00). (b) The fee for an annual inspection shall be as listed in 1464-07 (a) per unit inspected, when performed in accordance with Section 1464-03 (a). (c) There shall be no fee for the re-inspection of a unit within one hundred twenty (120) days of either an annual or re-occupancy inspection. (d) If any of the original violations remain after the first re-inspection of a unit, a fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) will be charged for each subsequent re-inspection. (e) No certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate of occupancy for a property or premises shall issue or re-issue and occupancy shall not be permitted unless all overdue charges, liens, fines, or fees due the Village and associated with, or relating to, such property or premises are first paid or discharged in full or otherwise brought current.
University Park § 1464-07 establishes a schedule of fees for housing inspections tied to re-occupancy and annual reviews. Inspection fees vary by property type — ranging from $25 for qualifying senior or handicapped multi-family units up to $250 for single-family homes, with a reduced $100 rate available when the owner lives within the Village. Re-inspections within 120 days of an original inspection carry no charge, but if original violations persist beyond the first re-inspection, each subsequent visit costs $50. Critically, no certificate of occupancy — new or renewed — may be issued while any overdue charges, liens, fines, or fees owed to the Village remain unpaid.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 1464-07, compliant operators in University Park budget for inspection fees at the applicable rate for their property type before a unit is re-occupied or during the annual inspection cycle. Owners who reside within the Village and hold record title to a single-family unit should be aware that a reduced $100 fee applies in their case rather than the standard $250. Addressing all cited violations before the first re-inspection avoids the $50 per-subsequent-re-inspection charge, and clearing any outstanding Village fees, liens, or fines is a prerequisite before a certificate of occupancy can be issued or renewed under § 1464-07(e).

Section § 1464-07 is directly relevant to tenants because a landlord's failure to pay overdue Village charges, liens, or fines can legally block the issuance or renewal of a certificate of occupancy for the property. Tenants can check whether a valid certificate of occupancy is on file for their unit, since § 1464-07(e) prohibits occupancy without one when outstanding fees exist. If there are concerns about inspection compliance or a missing certificate, tenant-rights organizations or the Village's housing office can be consulted to understand available options.
