A building code violation from the City of Chicago is not a suggestion — it is a formal notice with a deadline, a fine schedule, and an escalation path that ends in administrative hearings, property liens, and court proceedings if ignored. Since 2003, (XRB) Construction Services, LLC has been resolving Chicago building code violations for property owners, investors, and building managers across the city. Our principals are City of Chicago Licensed Permit Expediters and Licensed General Contractors — we know the code, we know the process, and we know how to get violations closed before they become something far more serious.

(XRB) stops that escalation — fast.
WHAT IS A CHICAGO BUILDING CODE VIOLATION?
The City of Chicago Department of Buildings issues building code violations when a property is found to be out of compliance with the Chicago Construction Code or the Chicago Municipal Code. Violations are issued following inspections triggered by complaints, permit applications, routine inspections, or referrals from other city departments.
Each violation identifies the specific code section violated, the required corrective action, and the deadline for compliance. Failure to resolve violations within the required timeframe results in automatic fines and escalation to the Department of Administrative Hearings — a process that can result in significant financial penalties and property encumbrances.

OUR VIOLATION RESOLUTION PROCESS
Eight steps. One outcome: your violation is closed.
Pull the Full Violation Record
Obtain and review the complete violation record from the City of Chicago DOB system — every cited code section, every deadline, every associated permit.
On-Site Assessment
Conduct a thorough on-site assessment of the cited conditions. Document existing conditions, identify scope of required corrective work, and photograph all relevant areas.
Identify the Resolution Pathway
Determine the correct resolution pathway for each violation — permit filing, licensed repair, inspection, zoning action, or a combination. No guesswork.
File Required Permit Applications
File all required permit applications in-house through our licensed permit expediting operation. No separate expediter needed — we handle it all under one roof.
Execute Licensed Corrective Work
Perform all required licensed repair or construction work to correct the cited condition. Our crews are City of Chicago licensed and fully insured.
Schedule & Pass DOB Inspections
Schedule all required Department of Buildings inspections and drive them to approval. We know what inspectors look for — we prepare accordingly.
Obtain Written Violation Closure
Obtain formal written violation closure confirmation from the Department of Buildings. The violation record is closed — not just corrected.
Deliver Documentation Package
Deliver a complete documentation package to the property owner: permit records, inspection approvals, violation closure confirmation, and all supporting materials.
