What happens at a hearing?
Generally speaking, hearings are held at 400 West Superior or at the Daley Center in Chicago. At a Chicago building code violation hearing, both sides present their case to the administrative hearing officer (the judge). The City of Chicago will have an attorney working hard on their behalf. There is no doubt that they will be ready to present their case, so if you need representation, contact us as soon as possible.
We help homeowners every day with their building code violations. Call Attorney Bradford Miller today at 312-238-9298 for a free 15 minute phone consultation.

Are there any defenses to building code violations?
Yes, there are some 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.

My tenant called the department of buildings!
My tenant called the department of buildings on me! Can I have them evicted? No. The law clearly states the following:

No action for eviction, abatement of a nuisance, forcible entry and detainer or other similar action, including but not limited to increase of rent, decrease of services and refusal to renew a lease, shall be threatened or instituted against an occupant of a building or other structure because such occupant has in good faith agreed to testify or testified at an administrative hearing before the Department of Administrative Hearings or has complained of a building code violation to the landlord, to a government agency, public official or elected representative, or to a community organization or news medium. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit any rights or defenses available to tenants or other occupants under other city ordinances or applicable law.
If you have been cited with building code violations, call our office right away. Fines can be as much as $500 PER DAY for each penalty!

A sad reality
Unfortunately, my office receives phone calls every week from people who were cited with building code violations and chose to represent themselves in court or ignored the citation notices all together. They then usually have large judgments against them from the City and their wages are now being garnished.
Dont let this happen to you! Take these citations seriously! If you receive a building code violation notice in the mail, call Attorney Bradford Miller right away for a free 15-minute phone consultation. The fines can be $500 PER DAY FOR EACH VIOLATION! This is not a small matter that you can ignore! We can help you, just give us a call. We deal with these matters every day.

Department of Buildings Requiring 50 Percent Fee with all Permit Applications
The Department of Buildings will start requiring a 50 percent deposit on permit applications on January 3, 2012.
The deposit requirement is designed to recoup a portion of the cost the department incurs for reviewing and approving plans that are never completely permitted and also to discourage design and building professionals for submitting plans for projects that may not yet have financing.
Currently, permit fees are not assessed until the end of the process when the applicant picks up the permits. Hundreds of permits are reviewed and approved each year for which applicants do not pay or complete the process.
“Our plan examiners spend time and effort reviewing all drawings that are submitted,” said Michael Merchant, Commissioner for the Department of Buildings. “Reviewing plans that never complete the permit process forces other projects to wait longer for their permit times. Charging a deposit will allow us to capture part of the fees owed to us without overly burdening submittals at the start of the process and allow other projects to move along quicker.”
