(65 ILCS 5/11-75-5) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-75-5)
Sec. 11-75-5. If, in the judgment of the corporate authorities, the public
interest requires that any building erected in the leased space be removed
so that a street, alley, or public place may be restored to its original
condition, the lessor municipality may condemn the lessee's interest in the
leased space by proceeding in the manner provided for the exercise of the
right of eminent domain under the Eminent Domain Act. After payment of such damages as may be fixed in the
condemnation proceedings, the municipality may remove all buildings or
other structures from the leased space and restore the buildings adjoining
the leased space to their original condition.
