Info

new property owner must submit the proper permits to the Community Development Department prior to starting any work. The affidavit date is a reflection of the latest date at which the homeowner can begin repairing the violations. The work must be completed before the permit expires, generally within six (6) months. Water Service Water service will not be permanently returned to a home unless a bill is put in the name of the legal Title holder and the Village Inspection is completed. It is not necessary for water to be on at the time of the Village inspection. Special Situations If an indoor air quality test is to come back with elevated levels of mold and remediation is deemed to be necessary, work can be performed before closing by an entity or individual holding Title to the property. A Romeoville-licensed mold remediation company must be hired to complete the work through a permit and a work report/secondary air quality test must be submitted to the Village when the work is complete. When this is not possible, a buyer can assume responsibility for mold remediation after closing by signing a mold affidavit. This allows for mold remediation and the required Village inspection to occur after transfer stamps have been issued and the home has transferred ownership to the buyer. This process has several restrictions for occupancy and water service that differ from the traditional affidavit process discussed. Please contact the Community Development Department for more information. If a 24-hour water turn-on is necessary for a buyer to complete a private home inspection, this water turn on can occur prior to the required mold testing and Village Inspection. Please contact the Water Billing Department at 815-886-7200 for further information. Additional Requirements At the time of the Village inspection, a representative of the property must be present to grant Village inspectors access into the home. The indoor air quality test shall sample air on all living levels of the home including any basement or crawlspace. A certified company or individual does not need to be licensed with the Village of Romeoville to perform an indoor air quality test in a home. The Village does keep a list of companies who can perform such tests. Please contact the Community Development Department for this list. If elevated levels of mold are found to be present in a home and remediation is necessary, a Romeoville-licensed mold remediation company must be hired to complete the work. Please contact the Community Development Department for a list of licensed contractors. Scheduling and Fee Requirements In order to schedule the Village-required inspection, a copy of the indoor air quality report must be in the Village’s possession. The Community Development Department can usually schedule this inspection within 5 - 7 business days from the day the report is received. The Building Division leaves two (2) special priority time slots open each day of the week specifically for these inspections. The fee for this Village inspection is $50. If this appointment cannot be kept and cancellation is not received within 24 hours, a $50 penalty will be assessed against the property. Related Information 2
