Senator Feigenholtz

 

CHICAGO – Transparency for Chicago residents who live in high rises will increase thanks to a measure sponsored by State Senator Sara Feigenholtz (D-Chicago) that was signed into law Friday.

“After the condominium collapse in Seaside, Florida, constituents became weary of the high rises in Chicago,” Feigenholtz said. “Condominium associations need to be reliable and transparent to tenants about renovations, repairs and updates to their buildings.”

A reserve study helps identify the stability of the condominium association’s finances and assists in planning ahead for costs associated with common area maintenance expenditures. This study helps homeowners and condominium associations determine how much in reserve funds should be maintained.

STATE SENATOR LOUGHRAN CAPPEL

 

SPRINGFIELD – Condominium owners may soon see reduced fees thanks to a new law sponsored by State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel.

“No one should have to pay excessive fees to get the documents required by law to sell their property,” said Loughran Cappel (D-Shorewood). “This new law protects residents from exorbitant fees and will ensure that they receive necessary documentation in a reasonable time.”

Under current law, a seller must provide prospective buyers several documents concerning the condominium owner association, including governance documents, anticipated expenditures, COA funds in reserve, and more. House Bill 5246 caps the amount of fees a condominium association may charge to retrieve or copy those records at $375, and no more than $100 for rush service. The new law further requires that those documents be produced within 10 days of the request.
