Chicago seems to be increasing citations for building code violations

Our office has seen a notable increase in cases for building code violations. Chicago seems to be really going after property owners for violations. Sometimes they are only outside violations - which gives the impression that inspectors are literally driving down city streets looking for potential violations.

If you have been cited for building code violations by the city of Chicago, call our office right away for a free 15 minute phone consultation. It is a serious matter that can result in serious fines.

Defenses to building code violations

It is a defense to a building code violation if we can prove 1) the building code violation alleged in the notice did not in fact exist at the time of the inspection resulting in the notice; 2) At the time of the hearing on the issue of whether the building code does or does not exist, the violation has been remedied or removed; 3) The building code violation has been caused by the current building occupants, or the most recent occupants who have been evicted within 30 days of the date of the notice of building code violations, and that in spite of reasonable attempts by the owner, manager or person exercising control to maintain the building free of such violations, the current or evicted occupants caused the violations; and 4) An occupant or resident of the building has refused entry to the owner or his agent to all or a part of the building for the purpose of correcting the building code violation.

If you have been cited by the City of Chicago for building code violations, contact us as soon as possible.
