Recent inquiry:
"An owner in our condo association has abandoned her unit and left the country. How can we protect our legal rights as an association?"
The best way to assure protecting the association's legal rights is to file a condo association lien with the recorder of deeds in the county where the association is located. The Illinois Condominium Property Act provides for recovery of all unpaid assessments, costs for maintaining and protecting the property, and all legal fees incurred in connection with the property when the property is ultimately transfered or sold.
Other recent cases:
We recently filed a claim for Breach of Contract where a contractor hired to make improvements to our client’s home abandoned the project and disappeared. The case is currently pending in Cook County Circuit Court.
We are currently providing legal counsel to a condo owner who has discovered defective construction throughout the condominium complex. We are advising the condo owner as to how to protect himself and his property as he works through the issue with the complex’s condominium association.
Recently we provided legal counsel to a potential purchaser of environmentally contaminated property as to his future potential liability under the Innocent Landowner Doctrine in the Illinois Environmental Protection Act and CERCLA.
We recently represented a commercial property owner who was fined by the City of Chicago for building code violations. We successfully settled the matter for a small fraction of the initial amount.
