PRESIDING JUSTICE LINDBERG, specially concurring: I join in the result of the majority opinion. However, I disagree with the conclusion of the majority on the issue of reformation and, would affirm the trial court on that issue. The objective of the statute can be achieved by reformation of the installment contract without imposing the unduly harsh penalty of rescission upon the seller (see Fisher v. G. & S. Builders (1986), 147 Ill. App. 3d 168, 497 N.E.2d 1022), particularly where no building code violations were alleged to exist or to have existed at the time of entering into the installment contract.
