(210 ILCS 115/5.5) (This Section may contain text from a Public Act with a delayed effective date) Sec. 5.5. Mobile home park annual inspection. (a) The Department shall conduct an annual inspection of each mobile home park. If Type B or Type C violations under 77 Ill. Adm. Code 860.540 are documented during the annual inspection and the Department is required to reinspect the mobile home park to ensure the violations have been corrected, the Department, at its discretion, may charge a reinspection fee of $300 per visit due within 30 days after the date of the invoice after the reinspection occurs and no later than at the time of license renewal. All licensing fees and reinspection fees are nonrefundable. The Department shall provide an annual inspection report to management of the mobile home park in which the Department shall identify any violation that it considers substantial and that it has determined would prevent issuance of a license if not corrected prior to license renewal. The Department shall conduct all annual inspections so that the park owner and management shall have at least 60 days prior to license renewal to correct and remedy any substantial violations identified in order to prevent nonrenewal of the license and the imposition of fees provided in this subsection. The Department shall renew any license, at least for a temporary period of 60 days, for which it does not timely identify substantial violations and provide opportunity for park management to remedy any nonsubstantial violations. (b) Reinspection shall not be required for any nonsubstantial violation identified by the Department in the annual inspection report, but the park owner or management shall provide evidence in writing, a written statement signed by the owner or management shall be sufficient for this purpose, to the Department within 60 days of receipt of the report that such nonsubstantial violations have been corrected or a statement to the Department to the effect that park owner or management disagrees or disputes that nonsubstantial violations have occurred and providing support for the park owner's or management's position.
