(A) It shall be unlawful for the owner of any real property to sell, transfer, mortgage, lease, or otherwise dispose of any real property knowing there is a notice issued by the enforcing officer in accordance with § 1.06.080 involving that real property until the violations are corrected or until such owner first furnishes the grantee, transferee, mortgagee, or lessee with a true copy of any such notice and shall furnish to the enforcing officer a signed and notarized statement from the grantee, transferee, mortgage, or lessee acknowledging the receipt of a true copy of such notice and fully accepting the responsibility without condition for making the corrections or repairs required by such documents or stating intentions to timely challenge such notice. Failure to provide notice as required in this section is a misdemeanor. The transfer of ownership in violation of this section shall not abrogate the transfer.
(B) Upon transfer of any property with a violation on file indicating the property is unsafe, dangerous or otherwise not habitable, the new owner shall not occupy or use the property until the enforcing officer expressly authorizes such occupation or use.
