A building code is a set of rules and regulations that set basic standards for buildings and other constructed objects. When a code is violated, the responsible party may face enforcement action, including financial penalties. With some exceptions, building codes in Illinois are set at the local level. However, as explained by the Illinois Capital Development Board, there are basic minimum standards for residential construction in areas where no local building codes exist.
Building code violations come in a wide range of different forms. Some are relatively minor violations that can be easily fixed without much time or expense, while others are major violations that put the health and safety of people at serious risk. Some of the most common Chicago building code violations include:
In Illinois, building code violation penalties will depend on a number of different factors, including the severity of the violation and any previous enforcement action taken by local officials. Property code enforcement requires regular inspection of certain buildings and structures. In some cases, a property owner cited for code violation will merely be ordered to fix the problem. If corrections are not made, a property owner is likely to face a fine. In the most extreme cases, authorities in Chicago and other areas in Northern Illinois can even condemn the property.
The best way to fix a building code violation in Illinois is to anticipate the issue and take action before any authorities are ever involved. Of course, that is not always possible. If you or your community has been cited after an inspection or if you have been reported for a suspected code violation, it is imperative that you understand the allegations.
