Section 136-7 of ch. 136 gives tenants a stake in the enforcement process, as violation notices must identify the tenant by name when one exists and be served or posted conspicuously on the property. Tenants who are aggrieved by a Code Enforcement Officer's decision have the right to appeal that decision to the Village Board by filing a written notice of appeal with the Village Clerk within five business days of receiving the notice. Tenant-rights organizations or legal aid services can help tenants understand how to participate in a Village Board hearing or otherwise respond to a violation notice under this provision.
