The Inspection Process
During the inspection process inspectors may identify problems and concerns ranging from life safety issues to property maintenance issues. Each inspection type has a checklist of items that need to be verified for compliance with the Building and Property Maintenance Codes. The property owner is required to bring the property into compliance with all applicable codes.

Residential rental inspections will be completed on an annual basis and should be scheduled during the annual registration process that takes place each December.

Non-residential inspections will be completed on an annual basis as well, but are generally performed in groups based on geography. These inspections typically occur in a door to door visit by our inspectors, rather than on a predetermined date.

If there is an issue or complaint within our community that requires the Village’s attention, a Community and Economic Development Inspector will be available to help solve the problem. Bensenville Report a Concern (powered by SeeClickFix) helps residents reach the Village online or via their smartphone to request services or get help resolving issues.

By using the SeeClickFix request form your concerns are communicated directly to the Village staff that is responsible for resolving the issue. Residents are encouraged to create a profile on SeeClickFix so that Bensenville Report a Concern can keep you informed on the status of your request and those created by your neighbors. Certain issues cannot be reported if you don’t create a user profile.

Any requests not specifically listed on the request form should be reported to the Report a Concern Center at 630-594-1515 and all inquiries will be answered as quickly as possible. For Emergency matters, residents should still call 911 immediately.

After every inspection the Village inspector will provide the customer with an anonymous Customer Comment card. These feedback cards can be mailed back to Village Hall at no cost and are sent directly to the Village Manager’s Office.
