Wood Dale's § 6.1612 of Article XVI defines five categories of violations related to residential rental property. These include an owner's failure to register the property with the City, failure by occupants or owners to vacate within 60 days after notice of improper registration or revocation, an owner's failure to keep the property in compliance with applicable building, maintenance, and zoning ordinances, and unauthorized removal or defacement of posted notices. Each of these acts or omissions exposes the responsible party to the penalties established elsewhere in Article XVI.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 6.1612, compliant rental property owners in Wood Dale generally keep their properties registered with the City at all times, promptly renew or restore any registration that lapses or is revoked, and maintain structures and premises in accordance with applicable building, property maintenance, and zoning ordinances. If a registration or temporary certificate is revoked, owners are expected to initiate the process of vacating tenants within the 60-day window specified by the provision. Owners and their agents also take care not to remove or deface any notices posted by the Code Official, as doing so constitutes a separate violation under § 6.1612.
