\"\"Alderman Reilly is very pleased to report that the Chicago City Council voted on Wednesday to approve his\u00a0Condominium Owners’ Privacy Ordinance<\/a>, which was co-sponsored by Alderman Hopkins and Alderman\u00a0Smith. The ordinance invokes Chicago’s “Home Rule Authority”\u00a0to overrule\u00a0Section 19(a)(7) of the\u00a0Illinois\u00a0Condominium Property Act<\/em>, which forces condominium associations to share\u00a0the personal phone numbers and\u00a0email addresses of all unit owners upon written request by a unit owner.<\/p>\n

Alderman Reilly sponsored the ordinance after receiving correspondence from numerous condominium\u00a0associations and hundreds of 42nd Ward constituents who expressed concerns about privacy under the new\u00a0State law.<\/p>\n

Alderman Reilly believes that the Illinois State Legislature had good intentions when enacting this section of\u00a0the\u00a0Illinois Condominium Property Act<\/em>, which sought to connect unit owners. Unfortunately, as written, the\u00a0legislation mandates the release of personal contact information to unit owners, and creates significant\u00a0privacy concerns.<\/p>\n

Alderman Reilly’s ordinance prevents homeowner’s associations from sharing unit owners’ personal cell phone\u00a0numbers and email addresses unless a 2\/3 majority of the association votes to allow for the sharing of that\u00a0personal information.\u00a0The Condominium Owner’s Privacy Ordinance will take effect on April 18, 2018.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Illinois State Senator Kwame Raoul has also proposed legislation to amend the\u00a0Illinois Condominium Property\u00a0Act (SB0572).<\/a> Senator Raoul’s amendment\u00a0eliminates the requirement of condominium associations to share\u00a0unit owners’ private contact information.Alderman Reilly supports Senator Raoul’s amendment and hopes it will\u00a0be\u00a0scheduled for a full vote in the near future.<\/p>\n

Alderman Reilly would like to thank residents who contacted our office about this very serious privacy\u00a0concern.<\/p>\n
