The participants in a violations case may vary depending on the nature of the code violation, but here is what you are likely to expect: hearing will have a hearing officer who has the authority to make a final ruling. The hearing officer is a licensed Illinois attorney and acts as an independent and impartial "judge.” The City, as the petitioner, will have an Attorney there to present its case. The City may also bring witnesses to support its case.
You have the right to hire an attorney to represent you. If the City presents its case through the in-person testimony of a city official or other witness, you have the right to ask questions of the City's witness. You also have the opportunity to present your evidence and witness as well.
If you are found liable, the hearing officer is required by law to impose the appropriate penalties set forth by the Municipal Code of Chicago. If you are found not liable, the hearing officer will dismiss the case against you and will not impose any penalties. In some cases, you may be found liable for some violations but not others.
