All subsequent transferees of the nonresidential structure, dwelling, dwelling unit or rooming unit in connection with which a second notice has been so recorded, shall be deemed to have notice of the continuing existence of the violations alleged, and shall be liable to all penalties and procedures provided by this chapter and by applicable rules and regulations issued pursuant thereto to the same degree as was their transferor.

(b)

It shall be unlawful for the owner of any nonresidential structure, dwelling, dwelling unit or rooming unit upon whom a notice of violation/compliance order has been served to sell, transfer, mortgage, lease or otherwise dispose thereof to another until the provisions of the notice of violation/compliance order have been complied with or until such owner shall first furnish to the grantee, lessee or mortgagee prior to such transfer, lease or mortgage a true copy of any notice of violation/compliance order issued by the chief inspector and at the same time notify the chief inspector in writing the intent to transfer, lease or mortgage either by delivering such notice of intent to the chief inspector and receiving a receipt therefor or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, giving the name and address of the person to whom the transfer, lease or mortgage is proposed. A transferee, lessee or mortgagee who has received actual or constructive notice of the existence of a notice of violation/compliance order is bound by such notice of order as of the date of such transfer, lease or mortgage without service of further service upon him.
