Amends the Illinois Municipal Code. Provides that if a property owner is cited with a code violation and the remedy renders the property uninhabitable, the hearing department shall provide the owner with an emergency hearing in front of a hearing officer within 7 days of when the building inspector reported the violation. Requires a hearing officer to immediately lift the order condemning the property after the hearing unless he or she finds the alleged code violation to exist and pose an immediate safety hazard to the occupants of the property. Provides that a municipality may impose remedies for sanctions other than prohibition of occupancy.
