(a) Responsibility upon transfer of property. The transfer of any and all property interests in any manner of any real property against which a notice of violation has been issued shall not relieve the party(s) served with a notice unless the legal entity assuming an ownership interest in such property, in writing, assumes responsibility for compliance with the notice of violation and a copy of such writing is presented to the code official.
(b) Fraudulent transfer as a misdemeanor. Any person who has been served with a notice of violation and who then transfers an ownership interest in the real property against which the notice has been served is guilty of a misdemeanor if the transfer is made without first obtaining a written acceptance of liability from the new owner for the items listed in the notice.
