Not hiring an attorney

$200 fine, no fine, $200 fine, no fine, $2000 fine. Which one does not belong? Of course it is the $2000 fine. My associate told me today that while at Court at 400 West Superior, he noticed that the people without lawyers were getting bigger fines on average. In the case of the $2000 fine, it was an elderly lady that I wish my firm could have helped had she called us when she received the citation. While I cannot guarantee any outcome (no attorney can), I can say that Bradford Miller Law PC has the experience necessary to handle building code violations. We know how to work with the City, the inspectors, and at Court to get a fair outcome for our clients.

Definition of "building owner"

I recently had a client ask if he is considered the building owner if the property is in a land trust and he was the beneficiary. The answer is yes. According to the Buildings Hearing Division, the term "Building owner" shall mean: (1) the legal title holder or holders of the realty containing a building or other structure; (2) the beneficial owner or owners of an Illinois Land Trust if legal title is held by such a trust; (3) the purchaser under any real estate installment sales contract if such a contract exists; (4) any person or entity registered as an owner pursuant to Chapter 13-10 of the Municipal Code of Chicago; (5) a person who contracts with the federal government or any of its agencies, including without limitation the Department of Housing and Urban Development, to care for vacant residential real estate; (6) a person who has management authority over real property; or (7) for purposes of proceedings involving alleged violations of Section 8-4-090, any person who owns, manages or controls the applicable premises.
