Complete Legal Services for New Chicago Condominium Associations

The Illinois Condominium Property Act (the “Act”) provides that the Developer of a new Illinois condominium must turn over control of the condominium association and deliver specified records at the earlier of when 75% of the units have been sold or three years after the recording of the condominium declaration.

The developer to new condominium association control turn over process can often be a stressful, bewildering and perilous process for the condominium unit owner and fledgling board members of new Chicago condominium associations, especially those Chicago condominium associations too small for ongoing professional management or those managed by a developer affiliated or controlled management company.

Frequently, developers of smaller Chicago condominium associations, intentionally or through lack of knowledge or simple neglect, do not follow the requirements of the Act and new Chicago condominium associations are left in the lurch. We are Chicago New Condominium Association Attorneys who can guide you to the answers and assist new Condominium Association unit owners in getting what they are entitled to under the Illinois Condominium Property Act.

Our experienced Chicago Condominium Association Lawyers assist new Chicago Condominium Associations in making sure that they are properly organized and constituted and that officers and the Board of Managers have proper legal power to act on behalf of the condominium association.

Section 18.2 of the Illinois Condominium Property Act is very specific as to what the condominium developer must turn over to the new Illinois Condominium Association when control is finally vested in the new owners of the condominium units. And the Act has “teeth,” in that it requires the developer to reimburse the new Condominium Association for all attorney fees and court or other costs incurred in forcing the developer to meet its obligations under section 18.2, after proper demand is served.
