North Chicago — Title 12 Ch. 2 Condominium Conversion § 12-2-11
RESALE OF UNIT:
Operative Text
This Chapter shall not apply to the resale of any unit for which a certificate of inspection has been previously issued, or to the sale or resale of any unit which was originally designed and sold under the Condominium Property Act if a certificate of occupancy has been issued with respect thereto.
Section 12-2-11 of North Chicago's Condominium Conversion chapter carves out two categories of transactions from the chapter's requirements: (1) the resale of a unit that already has a previously issued certificate of inspection, and (2) the sale or resale of a unit that was originally designed and sold as a condominium under the Condominium Property Act, provided a certificate of occupancy has been issued for it. In practical terms, these units are treated as already having satisfied the chapter's baseline compliance thresholds. The exemption applies to both initial sales and subsequent resales within those qualifying categories.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and sellers dealing with condominium units in North Chicago should be aware that § 12-2-11 provides meaningful exemptions from the Condominium Conversion chapter's requirements. A compliant operator generally confirms whether a prior certificate of inspection has been issued for the unit, or whether the unit was originally designed and sold under the Condominium Property Act with a certificate of occupancy in place, before determining whether the chapter's full requirements apply to a pending transaction. Maintaining clear records of certificates of inspection and certificates of occupancy helps establish eligibility for these exemptions at the time of sale or resale.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 12-2-11 of North Chicago's Condominium Conversion chapter, tenants and prospective buyers should understand that not all condominium sales in the city are subject to the chapter's full set of protections — units with a prior certificate of inspection, or units originally designed and sold as condominiums under the Condominium Property Act with a certificate of occupancy, fall outside the chapter's scope. If there is a question about whether a unit qualifies for this exemption or whether the proper certificates exist, tenants and buyers can request documentation from the seller or contact the relevant North Chicago municipal office to verify certificate status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with North Chicago housing regulations can also help explain how this exemption may affect rights in a particular transaction.
