Illinois Statutes Chapter 55. Counties § 5/5-41050. Sanctions; transfer or conveyance of property

§ 5-41050. Sanctions; transfer or conveyance of property. The order to correct a code violation and the sanctions imposed by a county against a respondent property owner as the result of a finding of a code violation under this Division 5-41 shall attach to the property, subject to the interests of all lien holders of record, as well as to the owner of the property, so that the owner cannot avoid the finding of a code violation against the owner by conveying or transferring the property to another. Any subsequent transferee or owner of property takes the property subject to the findings, decision, and order of a hearing officer under this Division 5-41 if a notice consisting of a copy of the order to correct a code violation and imposing any sanctions and costs, if applicable, and a description of the real estate affected that is sufficient to identify the real estate has been filed in the office of the Recorder or the office of the Registrar of Titles by the county prior to the transfer or conveyance to the subsequent transferee or owner.
