(A) No residential rental license shall be issued or renewed unless the dwelling unit along with its common areas has undergone a security and safety inspection and are found, alter a security and safety inspection, to meet all applicable laws and regulations of the village. Where there is a change in ownership of a dwelling unit, before a new residential rental license is issued, the dwelling unit shall be subject to a security and safety inspection. Any security and safety inspection shall be in addition to any other required inspection pursuant to applicable village ordinances. The landlord or designated agent will be provided with a security and safely inspection report describing any condition that fails to meet security and safely guidelines and constitutes a violation of any applicable laws or regulations of the village and state, and shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to correct such conditions. The fee for a security and safety inspection shall be $25 for every new license or new lease agreement prior to a new tenant moving in.
(B) In the event that more than two follow up security and safely inspections are required to determine compliance, the applicant shall pay an additional service charge of $50 per unit inspected for each additional security and safety inspection. Payment of the service charge must be made in full prior to issuance of the residential rental license. Failure to correct any violations shall result in the suspension or revocation of an existing residential rental license or, in the case of a new residential rental license application, the denial of a residential rental license application.
