Upon subsequent bi-annual inspections, the Fire department finds the same violations not addressed/corrected, shall result in potential fines/citations.
If a re-inspection is required, this shall result in potential fines/citations.
Thank you for your cooperation in making the Village of Union Grove and the Village of Yorkville fire safe communities by addressing these issues and making the necessary corrections.
