Within 14 days after the filing of the complaint, the condemnor shall cause to be filed and recorded in the recording office, a notice of the pendency of the action, in form and content specified by the rules. Such notice shall include the title of the action; the docket number thereof, if known; the date of the commencement of the action, a description of the property and the interests therein being condemned, as set forth in the complaint; and the names and addresses of all condemnees known to the condemnor and the nature of their alleged interests in said property.
