Lindenhurst approves 12‑month pilot with Safebuilt for code enforcement
Summary
After an unsuccessful local hiring effort for a part‑time code enforcement officer, Lindenhurst authorized a 12‑month pilot contract with Safebuilt Illinois, LLC to provide code enforcement, building inspections and reviews; staff reported positive feedback from other Illinois clients.
The Village of Lindenhurst Board on May 13 authorized a 12‑month service agreement with Safebuilt Illinois, LLC to provide code enforcement services, including building inspections and reviews, under an initial pilot program.
Staff told the board a recent recruitment for a part‑time in‑house Code Enforcement Officer (CSO) did not yield qualified applicants. The minutes say Safebuilt provides code enforcement services in Illinois communities including Glenview, Morton Grove, North Chicago, LaGrange Park, Hampshire, Pingree Grove and Schiller Park, and that staff received positive feedback about Safebuilt’s ability to adapt to a community’s culture.
Trustee Patty Chybowski moved to authorize the Village Administrator to enter into a 12‑month agreement with Safebuilt and Trustee Ron Grace seconded. The board approved the pilot by a 5–0 roll‑call vote. The minutes identify this as an initial pilot to help determine the future direction of the program; specific contract value and staffing details were not provided in the minutes.
