Tinley Park, IL Property Maintenance: Property Blight (2026)

03 turns that declaration into an enforceable duty: it is unlawful to maintain or permit the existence of a dangerous or abandoned building, and it is separately unlawful for the owner, occupant, or person in custody of a dangerous building to let it remain in a dangerous condition or to occupy it, or allow it to be occupied, while dangerous. 01 defines a dangerous building broadly to include structures unsafe due to faulty construction, age, fire damage, or lack of repair, buildings that are a fire hazard or likely to collapse, and buildings so dilapidated or unsanitary that they are unfit for human habitation, along with any building violating the Village Building Code or Fire Prevention Code.

05 lets the Building Commissioner, Building Inspector, or Health Officer post a notice on the building, order immediate evacuation of occupants facing imminent danger, and in emergencies cause immediate repair, vacation, or demolition. 06 backs that up by authorizing closure of the building to entry and suspension or revocation of any license tied to a use conducted inside it. 07, if the village performs repair or demolition work, the resulting bill goes to the owner, lessee, occupant, or agent, and the village can refuse to issue any future permit for the property until those costs are repaid.
