(a) The provisions of Article I of this chapter shall apply to eviction proceedings except to the extent that those provisions are inconsistent with this section. At a proceeding under this section, notwithstanding Section 2-14-076 of this Code, a violation notice shall not be treated as prima facie evidence.
(b) Whenever an administrative law officer determines that a tenant is subject to eviction based upon a pattern of controlled substance violations under Chapter 8-28 , he or she will issue an order of eviction effective on a specified date not less than 30 days after the date the order is issued. On that date and thereafter the landlord shall be entitled to re-enter and take possession of the premises. Any person who violates an order of eviction issued under this section by failing to surrender the premises shall be subject to prosecution under Section 2-14-100.
(c) Whenever an administrative law officer issues an eviction order, he or she may order the landlord to retain the services of a licensed private security contractor to ensure the removal of the tenant from the premises in accordance with the order. In addition, the corporation counsel is hereby authorized to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the County of Cook, under which the city will authorize the sheriff's police of that county to take appropriate action to ensure the removal of a tenant from premises in accordance with an order of eviction issued under this section. Any such agreement shall be subject to the approval of the corporation counsel and executed by the mayor. If the dwelling unit or premises are owned, managed or subsidized by a public housing agency, the public housing authority may be a party to the intergovernmental agreement.
(d) If the tenant does not vacate and remove his or her personal property from the premises as of the effective date of an eviction order specified in subsection (b), the landlord shall dispose of the property as provided in subsection (f) of Section 5-12-130.
