On Tuesday, March 6, 2007, the Village of Mount Prospect’s Board of
Trustees enacted Ordinance 5619 which expanded the Crime Free Housing Program.
In brief, the ordinance now states that the owner of any building or dwelling
unit (including a single family residence) which is rented MUST obtain a
residential operator’s license. Furthermore, “a residential operator’s licenses
shall not be issued until the landlord, or designated agent, has attended and
successfully completed the
Crime Free seminar sponsored by the Village of Mount
Prospect.”
Understanding that not all landlords (or agents) will be able to successfully
complete the seminar by the June 1, 2007, licensing deadline a conditional license
will be issued subject to attendance and successful completion of the seminar by
no later than October 1, 2007.
This expanded Crime Free Housing Program has been implemented with the goal of
reducing criminal activity within the Village and improving living conditions
for all residents.
