What can affect closing
Open violations do not necessarily prevent a sale, but the property's actual orders and local sale requirements matter. Illinois law allows municipalities to pursue repairs or demolition for an unsafe building and related charges. Selling does not make an existing order or lien disappear. Read the state rule in the Illinois Municipal Code, 65 ILCS 5/11-31-1. Share the notice so the closing team can identify what still needs to be addressed.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. This does not erase an existing order, court case, or seller obligation before closing.
