(65 ILCS 5/11-31.1-4) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-31.1-4)
Sec. 11-31.1-4. Instituting code hearing proceedings. When
a building inspector finds a code violation while inspecting a
structure, he shall note the violation on a multiple copy
violation notice and report form, indicating the name and
address of the structure owner, a citation to the specific code
provision or provisions alleged to have been violated, a
description of the circumstances present that constitute the
alleged violation the type and nature of the violation, the
date and time the violation was observed, the names of
witnesses to the violation, and the address of the structure
where the violation is observed.
The violation report form shall be forwarded by the
building inspector to the Code Hearing Department where a
Docket number shall be stamped on all copies of the report, and
a hearing date noted in the blank spaces provided for that
purpose on the form. The hearing date shall not be less than 30
nor more than 40 days after the violation is reported by the
building inspector.
One copy of the violation report form shall be maintained
in the files of the Code Hearing Department and shall be part
of the record of hearing, one copy of the report form shall be
returned to the building inspector so that he may prepare
evidence of the code violation for presentation at the hearing
on the date indicated, and one copy of the report form shall be
served by first class mail on the owner of the structure, along
with a summons commanding the owner to appear at the hearing.
If the municipality in which the structure is situated has an
ordinance requiring property owners to register with the
municipality, service may be made on the owner by mailing the
report and summons to the owner's address registered with the
municipality. If the name of the owner of the structure cannot
be ascertained or if service on the owner cannot be made by
mail, service may be made on the owner by posting or nailing a
copy of the violation report form on the front door of the
structure where the violation is found, not less than 20 days
before the hearing is scheduled.
