§ 1.22.210. Transfer of title, interest or possession.

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 of violation involving that real property until the violations are corrected or until such owner first furnishes the grantee, transferee, mortgagee, or lessee owner with a true copy of any such notice of violation and shall furnish to the Enforcement Official a signed and notarized statement from the grantee, transferee, mortgage, or lessee, acknowledging the receipt of a true copy of such notice of violation 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 of violation. 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 Enforcement Official gives consent.
