The identity and mailing address of the principal officer of the unit owner's association or of the other officer or agent as is specifically designated to receive notices. (b) The principal officer of the unit owner's association or such other officer as is specifically designated shall furnish the above information when requested to do so in writing and within 10 business days of the request. (c) Within 15 days of the recording of a mortgage or trust deed against a unit ownership given by the owner of that unit to secure a debt, the owner shall inform the Board of Managers of the unit owner's association of the identity of the lender together with a mailing address at which the lender can receive notices from the association. If a unit owner fails or refuses to inform the Board as required under subsection (c) then that unit owner shall be liable to the association for all costs, expenses, and reasonable attorney's fees and such other damages, if any, incurred by the association as a result of such failure or refusal. A reasonable fee, not to exceed $375, covering the direct out-of-pocket cost of providing such information and copying may be charged by the association or its Board of Managers to the unit seller for providing such information. Beginning one year after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly, the $375 fee shall be increased or decreased, as applicable, by a percentage equal to the percentage change in the consumer price index-u during the preceding 12-month calendar year. "Consumer price index-u" means the index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor that measures the average change in prices of goods and services purchased by all urban consumers, United States city average, all items, 1982-84 = 100. An association may charge an additional $100 for rush service completed within 72 hours. (Source: P.A. 102-976, eff. 1-1-23.)
