University Park § 1469-03 establishes the conditions under which the Village Manager may suspend, revoke, or decline to renew a certificate of inspection for a rental property. Grounds include failure to comply with the housing chapter, allowing illegal activity (such as drug-related offenses, prostitution, or gambling) on the premises, or maintaining property in a condition that threatens tenant health, safety, or welfare. When such action is taken, the certificate holder must be notified by registered mail or personal service and is automatically entitled to appeal the decision before the Village Hearing Officer.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 1469-03, compliant operators maintain their certificate of inspection by keeping properties in good repair, ensuring no illegal activity occurs on the premises, and promptly addressing any notices from village agencies. Receiving two or more notices from a village agency about illegal conduct on the property creates a legal presumption of knowledge under this section, which can trigger suspension or revocation proceedings. Operators who receive a suspension or revocation notice should be aware that they have an automatic right to appeal to the Village Hearing Officer, and that failing to appear at the scheduled hearing is treated as a waiver of that right.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section § 1469-03 is designed in part to protect tenants by giving the Village Manager authority to act against landlords whose properties pose risks to health, safety, or welfare, or where illegal activity is permitted to occur. Tenants who believe their building's conditions may warrant action under this provision can report concerns to the relevant University Park village department or agency. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with University Park housing regulations can help residents understand how certificate of inspection requirements may relate to their living conditions and what options may be available to them.
