(a) The owner/seller shall make application for a point of sale inspection with the Village. A mutually agreeable time shall be set for the inspection. If the applicant refuses to consent to an inspection of the premises, the Director of Economic and Community Development and/or his or her designee is authorized to obtain a mandatory order for inspection from the Circuit Court of Will County.
(b) Within five (5) working days after receipt of the application and payment of the fee prescribed in Section 1466-06 , the Director of Economic and Community Development and/or his or her designee shall cause an inspection to be made, unless delayed by obtaining a court order.
(c) A Code Enforcement Inspector will conduct a thorough inspection of the interior, exterior, and any ancillary structures contained on site.
(1) A listing of the known or observable violations of the International Code Council (ICC) Property Maintenance, International Residential Code, and/or the International Building Code as currently adopted by the Village, or a statement to the effect that no violations exist.
(d) 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 Director of Economic and Community Development 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.
The Director of Economic and Community Development 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.
(e) If the inspection reveals a violation of the International Code Council (ICC) Property Maintenance, International Residential Code, and/or the International Building Code as currently adopted by the Village, the owner/seller (or buyer, as the case may be) shall be responsible for correcting such violation.
(f) Also, if the property is being sold in an as-is condition, the buyer shall post a repair escrow equal to the estimated cost of repair not to exceed $2,500.00 plus the applicable non-refundable administrative fee. When the violation(s) is corrected, the owner/seller or buyer shall apply to the Village for a re-inspection and, if no violation is found upon re-inspection, the inspection report shall be amended to show no violations. If the violations that were noted during the initial inspection are found to not have been abated during the re-inspection, the owner/seller or buyer will be required to pay for an additional re-inspection. At no time, however, shall a premises be occupied unless, in addition thereto, there has first been issued by the Director of Economic and Community Development and/or his or her designee a certificate of occupancy. In all cases, unless otherwise noted, the buyer shall be responsible for the correction of such violations within ninety (90) days of the occupancy of the premises.
