Woodridge Code § 312-2 establishes that a property owner is required to obtain a certificate of rental safety before renting a residential unit, which means tenants have an interest in knowing whether this certification was secured prior to their tenancy. If a tenant has reason to believe a landlord did not comply with this requirement, they may consider contacting the Woodridge Building Inspector's office to inquire about the property's certification status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York housing law can also help explain how this type of local requirement may factor into a tenant's broader rights.
