Mission Statement


The goal of the Property Maintenance Division is to maintain and improve the environment of the community by monitoring both residential and commercial properties. By implementing the International Property Maintenance Code in conjunction with Village of Oak Lawn Ordinances, structures remain safe and sound. Improving housing stock increases the value of property and the benefits the lives of our residents. Trained inspectional staff responds to resident concerns, emergency situations and conducts area inspections in an effort to direct progress in maintenance issues. Enhancing commercial structures encourages prosperity and improves our tax base. Our latest initiative, registering and monitoring rental properties will effect positive improvements in single family and multi-family areas.

Properly maintained landscaping is not only esthetically pleasing but also results in a healthier environment. The quality of life is improved when residents are able to enjoy outdoor activities in clean, uncluttered neighborhoods.
Our mosquito abatement program has produced remarkable results in diminishing the mosquito population. Providing rodent control is a service that promotes wellbeing for residents.

Promoting a healthy and safe environment builds a stronger, happier community for all.
