(A) The order to correct a building code violation and the sanctions imposed by the village as a result of a finding of a code violation under this chapter shall attach to the property, as well as to the owner of the property, so that a finding of building code violation against one owner cannot be avoided by conveying or transferring the property to another owner. Any subsequent transferee or owner of property takes, subject to the findings, decision and order of a hearing officer.
(B) The village may file a lien upon the real estate in question, sixty (60) days after the final finding of a village code violation or violations and sanctions have been imposed by the village by filing notice of the lien in the office of the recorder of deeds of Cook County, Illinois. Said notice shall consist of a sworn statement setting out: 1) the description of the real estate sufficient for identification thereof; 2) the amount of money representing any fine and sanctions, in the form of costs assessed or otherwise; 3) a statement of the violation or violations of the code that were found to exist; and 4) the date or dates of which the findings of the violations and sanctions were imposed. Upon the property being brought into compliance with this code and upon the payment of any and all fines imposed, including the costs of preparing and recording the lien and the costs of preparing the appropriate release of lien, the lien shall be released by the village.
