West Frankfort — Title 15 Ch. 15.28 Housing Code § 15.28.070
Section 5.4 amended—Water closet, basin and bathtub
Operative Text
Section 5.4 of the Housing Ordinance is amended to read as follows: "Section 5.4. Each dwelling unit shall be equipped with at least a single flush water closet, a single lavatory basin and a single bathtub or shower."
West Frankfort Housing Code § 15.28.070 establishes a baseline sanitation standard for residential dwelling units by requiring that each unit contain at least one flush toilet, one lavatory basin (sink), and one bathtub or shower. This rule sets a minimum threshold — units may have more fixtures, but may not have fewer. The provision applies to all dwelling units subject to the West Frankfort Housing Code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 15.28.070, compliant property owners ensure that every dwelling unit they rent or offer for rent is equipped with at least one functioning flush toilet, one lavatory basin, and one bathtub or shower before occupancy. Operators generally conduct routine inspections of plumbing fixtures to confirm these minimums are continuously met, not just at the time of initial rental. Maintaining documentation of fixture condition and any repairs can support a showing of ongoing compliance with this section.

Section § 15.28.070 gives tenants a right to occupy a unit that includes, at minimum, a flush toilet, a lavatory basin, and a bathtub or shower. If any of these required fixtures is absent or non-functional, that condition may constitute a violation of the West Frankfort Housing Code, and tenants can generally report such conditions to the local code enforcement authority. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what documentation to gather and what local complaint processes may be available.
