Building and Property Maintenance Becomes 1^st Accredited Agency in the State

The Building Division, including Property Maintenance, within the Community Development Department became the first organization in the State of Illinois in 2023 to receive full accreditation from the International Accreditation Service (IAS) and is only 24th in the nation to earn this prestigious status.

To be classified as an accredited agency, a thorough four-day onsite evaluation was conducted by the IAS, where the Building Division was comprehensively assessed across more than a dozen categories, such as customer service, technical competence, code interpretation, and fiscal health. Earning accreditation required the establishment of a long-term quality management system and service goals, all with a focus on continuous improvement. Retaining accreditation status requires an assessment 18 months after initial accreditation, followed by an accreditation renewal process every three years.
