Building Code Scofflaws

The following building owners with controlling interest in at least three residential properties that have habitual, extensive or serious building code violations are now ineligible for any new city contracts in 2013.

Chicago’s Building Code Scofflaw Ordinance, 2-92-416, is designed to prevent landlords that refuse or refrain from correcting ongoing building code violations from receiving city contracts, including those that subsidize housing. Building owners must have at least three residential buildings with uncorrected violations to be eligible for the list.

The list of scofflaws is updated once a year in December, and building owners may appeal being included on the list. Please note that this is a tentative list, subject to review and addition.
