the premises and building to be used for the purpose do not fully
comply with all applicable ordinances and regulations of the City
and the State of Illinois.
A.
No license
for the operation of a business in the City shall be construed to
permit the operation of a licensed business in more than one location
in the City; a separate license shall be required for each location
of a licensed establishment. For the purposes of this chapter, the
existence of a single location shall be evidenced by the fact that
all buildings containing the principal or accessory uses shall be
connected or shall be located on the same lot or parcel, shall be
operated and managed by the same person or owner, and shall be an
establishment with the same classification.
B.
The location
of any licensed business may be changed, provided that 10 days' notice
thereof is given to the City Clerk in the absence of any provision
to the contrary; provided, however, that all applicable ordinances
and regulations of the City shall be complied with.
A.
No business or establishment, whether or not licensed, shall be so conducted or operated as to constitute a nuisance in fact; and no building, vehicle, structure, yard, lot, premises, or part thereof shall be used, kept, maintained, or operated in connection with any business or establishment so as to occasion any nuisance, or so as to be dangerous to life or detrimental to health. Any charge of conducting or operating a nuisance may be made under this chapter or under the provisions of any other City ordinance prohibiting nuisances, including Chapter 249, Article I, of this Municipal Code, as amended.
B.
No building or structure utilized, constructed, or maintained in
connection with any business or occupation shall evidence an unsanitary,
unsafe, or dangerous condition.
C.
No substance, matter, or thing of any kind whatever which shall be
dangerous or detrimental to health shall be allowed to exist in connection
with any business or occupation or be used in any work or labor performed
in the City.
D.
It shall be the duty of the occupant of every building, structure,
or premises used or maintained in connection with any business to
cause to be removed at his own cost and expense at least once each
week all refuse produced therein; provided, however, that such removal
shall occur more frequently as necessary to prevent nuisances from
odor, vermin, and/or litter.
E.
Solid
waste.
(2)
The occupant of every building, structure or premises used or
maintained in connection with any business shall provide and maintain
in good condition and repair a sufficient number of refuse containers
for the temporary storage of all refuse accumulating between collections.
All refuse which is placed for collection service outside any building
or structure must be kept in standard refuse containers.
(3)
Every person owning or controlling any hotel, restaurant, cafe
or retail food establishment where more than 32 gallons of refuse
is normally produced weekly shall cause all garbage to be placed in
sanitary refuse containers and shall cause all substances deposited
in such containers to be removed at least biweekly from the business
premises and to be disposed of at their expense.
A.
Health requirements.
(1)
No owner, lessee, manager or superintendent of any store, factory,
workshop or other place where persons are employed shall cause or
permit such place, or any room or part thereof, to be overcrowded
or inadequate or faulty in respect to light, ventilation, heat, or
cleanliness.
(2)
All such places of employment shall be kept in a clean condition,
free from the effluvia of a sewer, drain, privy, stable, or other
nuisance; also, as far as practicable, such premises shall be free
from all gases, vapors, dust, or other impurities generated by manufacturing
processes or otherwise which are injurious to health. Sufficient washroom
facilities for male and female employees shall be provided and such
facilities shall be properly ventilated.
B.
Heating requirements. It shall be the duty of every person owning
or controlling the heating plant which furnishes heat to any factory
or workshop, office, store or other place of employment to maintain
a temperature within such factory or workshop of not less than 68°
F. without such undue restriction of ventilation as to interfere with
proper sanitary conditions therein at such times as employees are
required to be on the premises from October 1 of each year to June
1 of the succeeding year, Sundays and holidays excepted; provided,
however, that this requirement shall not apply to any factory or workshop
where the business conducted therein is of such a nature that a higher
or lower temperature than 68° F. is necessary or expedient for
the work or manufacturing process of such business.
C.
Inspections. The Building Official shall visit or cause to be visited
all such places of employment in the City as often as he shall deem
necessary to ensure compliance with the provision of this chapter,
and to have such arrangements made as may be deemed necessary for
the health and safety of the employees.

shall be kept in a safe and sanitary condition.
B.
All businesses subject to this section shall refrain from all deceptive
trade practices as defined by state or federal law or regulation and
