(A) the full name, address, and telephone number of the person taking a substantial property interest in the unsafe premises; and
(B) the legal instrument under which the transfer or agreement to transfer the substantial property interest is accomplished.
(b) If a judgment is obtained against the department, enforcement authority, or other governmental entity for the failure of that entity to provide notice to persons holding an interest in unsafe premises in an action taken by the entity under this chapter, a person who failed to comply with this section is liable to the entity for the amount of the judgment if it can be shown that the entity's failure to give notice was a result of that person's failure.
