Woodridge CHAPTER 9 RESIDENTIAL RENTAL ORDINANCE § 3-9B-7 establishes that every single-family rental dwelling must comply with all applicable village ordinances, codes, and regulations. A first rental license cannot be issued if an uncorrected code violation exists past its correction deadline or if code-violation litigation is pending at the property. After initial licensing, the village inspects each single-family rental dwelling on a five-year rotating cycle, covering both interior and exterior areas of the unit.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 3-9B-7, operators of single-family rental dwellings in Woodridge generally ensure that all code violations are resolved within the timeframes noted in any inspection report before submitting a first license application. Compliant operators also confirm that no code-violation litigation is pending at the property at the time of application. Once licensed, property managers typically maintain the dwelling in continuous compliance with village codes so that the mandatory five-year inspection — which covers interior and exterior areas — does not reveal outstanding violations.

§ 3-9B-7 gives tenants in Woodridge's single-family rental market a framework to understand how their dwelling is regulated: the village conducts inspections on a five-year rotation and checks both the interior and exterior of the unit.
