Morton Grove — Ch. 10-11 Condominium Conversion § 10-11-7
IMPROVEMENT CERTIFICATE; INSPECTIONS
Operative Text
No conveyance shall be made of any unit or any part of the common elements until and unless the Village shall issue a certificate that the improvements on said real estate complies with all applicable ordinances of the Village. The appropriate departments of the Village shall make an inspection of the premises and shall issue such certificate if the improvement, in fact, complies with all ordinances.
Morton Grove's Ch. 10-11 Condominium Conversion § 10-11-7 establishes that no condominium unit or share of common elements may legally change hands unless the Village has first issued a certificate confirming that all improvements on the property meet applicable Village ordinances. Village departments are responsible for conducting the necessary inspection and issuing the certificate when compliance is verified. The rule effectively creates a mandatory pre-sale checkpoint administered by local government before any transfer can proceed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 10-11-7 of Morton Grove's Condominium Conversion ordinance, operators converting or selling condominium units generally coordinate with the appropriate Village departments to schedule the required property inspection well in advance of any planned conveyance. A compliant operator ensures that all improvements satisfy applicable Village ordinances so that the improvement certificate can be issued without delay. Keeping records of prior inspections, repairs, and code-compliance work is a practice commonly associated with smooth certificate issuance under this provision.

Section 10-11-7 of Morton Grove Ch. 10-11 provides prospective buyers or tenants of converted condominium units with an important protection: a unit cannot legally be conveyed without a Village-issued certificate confirming the improvements meet all applicable ordinances. If a transfer appears to have occurred without such a certificate, individuals may wish to contact the relevant Village departments to inquire about compliance status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Morton Grove's condominium conversion rules can help explain what options may be available when this requirement has not been met.
