(A) Within 30 days of the initial vacant structure registration or the registration of an amended foreclosing property registration after the property becomes vacant, the city may, as necessary, conduct a comprehensive code-compliance inspection of the entirety of the vacant building/property. Such inspection will determine the extent of compliance with all applicable city ordinances, including, without limitation, ordinances relating to property maintenance, building, health, water, sewer and fire codes. The city shall send any such inspection report to all registered owners and/or responsible parties within 30 days of completion. Periodic re-inspections may take place, as necessary, until code/ordinance compliance is achieved. Timely code/ordinance compliance is required upon notification that violations exist on the property. Failure to comply with this inspection requirement shall constitute a violation and subject to fines set forth in § 159.99.
(B) All properties registered under this chapter shall comply with all applicable ordinances pertaining to property located within the city limits as set forth in the city's Code of Ordinances and as adopted by the City Council from time to time. Registration does not exempt the owner from compliance with all applicable codes and ordinances including this chapter, nor does it preclude any of the actions the city is authorized to take pursuant to this chapter, the city's ordinances and the laws of the State of Illinois.
