65 ILCS 5/ Illinois Municipal Code.

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

rooms
or groups of rooms used or intended to be used as housekeeping units for
living, sleeping, cooking, and eating and rented to persons for those purposes
and if a court or municipal officer or administrative agency of competent
jurisdiction determines that the owner has violated a municipal ordinance or
code that establishes construction, plumbing, heating, electrical, fire
prevention, sanitation, or other health and safety standards that are
applicable to such buildings, then, in addition to any other action authorized

the amount that would have been imposed if the owner had not stated an

except that the total fine may not exceed the maximum amount authorized by
law.
