Senate Sponsors: BERMAN. House Sponsors: GILES-SLONE-FLOWERS-SCOTT Short description: MUNI CD-RUN DOWN BLDG-LIEN Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the Illinois Municipal Code. Provides that a municipality shall not proceed with demolition, repair, enclosure, or clean up of a building if any person with a legal or equitable interest in the property has sought a court hearing. Provides that any person with a current legal or equitable interest in the property may file with the court an objection to a municipality's proposed action concerning the dangerous or abandoned building. Provides that a municipality's lien for abandoned building costs is superior to existing liens, except taxes, if the municipality files a notice of lien within 180 days after incurring the costs. SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Deletes the amendatory provisions restricting objections to and hearings on a municipality's proposed actions concerning dangerous or abandoned buildings to persons with a legal or equitable interest in the property. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Provides that before removing hazardous buildings, the municipality must mail to interested parties and record a Notice to Remediate. Provides if recorded or registered within 180 days after the repair, demolition, enclosure, or removal, the municipal lien has priority over the interests of those parties named in the Notice to Remediate, but not over the interests of third party purchasers or encumbrancers for value who obtained their interests in the property before obtaining actual or constructive notice of the lien.
