Westmont — Ch. 19 Condominium Conversions § 19-14
Other Code provisions and statutes
Operative Text
This chapter shall become effective immediately upon approval. This chapter shall not be construed to prevent, limit or modify any other provisions of this Code regarding zoning, building and/or life safety. This chapter shall not limit or modify the application of other provisions of this Code with respect to properties submitted to the provisions of the Condominium Property Act prior to its effective date.
Section 19-14 of Westmont's Chapter 19 on Condominium Conversions took effect immediately upon adoption and is designed to work alongside, not override, other local rules. Zoning, building, and life-safety code provisions remain fully in force regardless of what Chapter 19 says. Properties that were already subject to the Illinois Condominium Property Act before Chapter 19's effective date continue to be governed by the broader municipal code on those pre-existing matters.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers managing condominium conversion projects in Westmont should recognize that § 19-14 does not create any exemption from the municipality's zoning, building, or life-safety requirements. Compliant operators typically ensure that all applicable code provisions are satisfied in parallel with Chapter 19's conversion procedures. Properties that entered the Condominium Property Act framework before Chapter 19 took effect remain subject to the full scope of other Westmont code provisions.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 19-14 makes clear that tenants in buildings undergoing condominium conversion retain the protections of Westmont's zoning, building, and life-safety codes, which are not diminished by Chapter 19. If a tenant believes a code violation exists in a property subject to conversion, general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with the appropriate local code enforcement office or contacting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Illinois condominium conversion law. Tenants in buildings that were already under the Condominium Property Act before § 19-14's effective date may also have recourse under the broader municipal code.
