Summary
A rental property owner, including a short-term rental operator, who lets the property become a nuisance risks license suspension or revocation under Village Code § 123.02(E). The village's chronic-nuisance procedure in § 99.10.04 gives an owner a first written warning and ten business days to respond before a second documented incident sends the case to an adjudication officer.
(E)Suspension or Revocation of a License: Should an owner or operator of a rental property, including a short-term rental, allow the property to be operated in a way that creates a nuisance may be subject to suspension or revocation of its license. Such actions will follow the procedures outlined in section 110.25.

Full Breakdown
25 procedure. 04. When the police chief or a designee first receives a documented nuisance-activity report on a property, the chief may notify the person in charge that the property is "in danger of becoming a nuisance property" and must give that person ten business days to respond and propose a fix. If the police receive documentation of an additional nuisance occurrence after that notice, the chief may instead notify the person in charge in writing that the property "has been determined to be a nuisance property" and refer the matter to an adjudication officer for a hearing, unless the person in charge agrees within the notice period to abate the nuisance within ten days. 07; the village manager may separately suspend or recommend revocation of the rental license itself. 25(C).
Violations & Fines
A second documented nuisance incident after the initial warning notice can move the case straight to an adjudication hearing, and the village manager may suspend or revoke the rental or short-term rental license on top of any fine the adjudication officer imposes. Each day a violation continues is a separate offense under § 10.99, and license suspensions and revocations are appealable to the village manager within fifteen days.
