Woodridge CHAPTER 9 RESIDENTIAL RENTAL ORDINANCE § 3-9B-18
PENALTY
Operative Text
In addition to any and all penalties provided for in this article, any person found to have violated any provision of this article shall be subject to the general penalty provided for in section 1-4-1 of this code. (Ord. 2025-11, 4-3-2025)
Section 3-9B-18 of Woodridge's Residential Rental Ordinance establishes that violations of the ordinance carry a dual penalty structure: any specific penalties already set out within the article apply, and on top of those, the general penalty provision found in Section 1-4-1 of the Woodridge Village Code also applies. This means a violator is not shielded from the general municipal penalty simply because a more specific penalty exists elsewhere in the article. The provision was adopted by Ordinance 2025-11 on April 3, 2025.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Woodridge's Residential Rental Ordinance should be aware that § 3-9B-18 creates a cumulative penalty framework — compliance failures can trigger both any article-specific penalties and the separate general penalty under § 1-4-1 of the Village Code. Compliant operators typically maintain thorough records of their adherence to each provision of the ordinance so that, if a question arises, documentation is readily available. Reviewing § 1-4-1 alongside the specific penalty provisions in the article gives a complete picture of the financial exposure associated with any violation.

Under § 3-9B-18 of Woodridge's Residential Rental Ordinance, tenants should know that landlords who violate the ordinance face penalties from more than one source — both the article's own penalty provisions and the general Village Code penalty under § 1-4-1 can apply simultaneously. This layered enforcement structure may strengthen the weight of a reported violation. Tenants who believe a violation has occurred can document the issue, contact the appropriate Woodridge municipal authority, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available enforcement paths.
