The City of Chicago has doubled their fines for not providing the appropriate heat to your tenants. Specific temperatures required from 9/15/2021 - 6/1/2022.
8:30am-10:30pm: minimum 68 degrees
10:30pm-8:30am: minimum 66 degrees
FINES INCREASED FROM $500 A DAY TO $1000 per day! The reason for lack of heat does not matter. Your tenant can call 311 to report and they will send someone out to inspect.
Don’t be that landlord. If you have heating issues, now is the time to address them. Consider a heating inspection now. It’s less than $100 and I have an HVAC referral if needed.
