Violations; inspection reports; postings; penalty
Operative Text
Violations; inspection reports; postings; penalty. (a) Any nonconformance with a statute, rule, or ordinance applicable to the mobile home park or manufactured home community constitutes a violation. The authority having jurisdiction shall identify violations in an inspection report. The inspection report shall be served upon the park owner or managing agent in person or by certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. (b) The park owner or its managing agent shall post in a conspicuous place any inspection report received from the authority having jurisdiction regarding health and life safety violations as defined in rules promulgated by the Illinois Department of Public Health. The inspection report shall be posted beginning the business day after the date by which the violation or violations must be corrected as set forth in the inspection report issued by the authority having jurisdiction. The posting may be removed only when: (1) the authority having jurisdiction has issued written authorization to remove the posting; or(2) the park owner or its managing agent has corrected the violation or violations, served notice to the authority having jurisdiction that the violation or violations have been corrected by submitting such documentation or affidavit as may be necessary to substantiate the correction by certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and no less than 15 days have expired from the mailing date of the notice to the authority having jurisdiction.(c) Nothing in this Act may be construed to diminish, impair, or otherwise affect the authority of the authority having jurisdiction to charge violations under the Mobile Home Park Act or any other statute, rule, or ordinance applicable to the mobile home park or manufactured home community. (d) Failure to comply with the requirements of this Section subjects the park owner or managing agent to a $250 penalty. The penalty shall be payable to the authority having jurisdiction which issued the inspection report citing violations. (e) For purposes of enforcement of this Section by the Illinois Department of Public Health, the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act is hereby expressly adopted. The Illinois Department of Public Health has the authority to promulgate rules to enforce this Section. (f) For purposes of enforcement of this Section by any authority having jurisdiction other than the Illinois Department of Public Health, the authority having jurisdiction has the authority to adopt ordinances to enforce this Section.
Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 745 § 6.7, any failure to comply with applicable statutes, rules, or ordinances at a mobile home park or manufactured home community constitutes a violation. When an inspection reveals health and life safety violations, the park owner or managing agent must post the inspection report in a conspicuous location starting the business day after the correction deadline, and the posting can only come down under specific conditions — either with written authorization from the authority having jurisdiction or after the owner has corrected the violations, notified the authority by certified mail, and waited at least 15 days. Failure to follow these posting requirements carries a $250 penalty payable to the authority that issued the inspection report.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks and manufactured home communities subject to 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 745 § 6.7 generally maintain compliance by promptly posting any inspection report citing health and life safety violations in a visible location no later than the business day after the stated correction deadline. Compliant operators keep the posting in place until they have both corrected all cited violations and sent certified mail notice with supporting documentation to the authority having jurisdiction, then waited the required 15-day period — or until they receive written authorization to remove it. Failing to follow these posting procedures exposes the park owner or managing agent to a $250 penalty payable to the issuing authority.

Section 6.7 of 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 745 gives residents of mobile home parks and manufactured home communities a right to be informed: park owners and managing agents are required to publicly post inspection reports that identify health and life safety violations, making it easier for residents to know about unresolved issues in their community. If a required posting is missing or was removed before the conditions for removal were met, that failure to comply is itself a violation subject to a $250 penalty. Residents who believe this provision is not being followed may consider contacting the authority having jurisdiction — which may be the Illinois Department of Public Health or a local authority — or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
