flag Chicago tenants face eviction by Dec. 12 from unsafe, unheated apartment building with no relocation aid.

flag Chicago tenants in a South Shore apartment building face a December 12 eviction order after a surprise court hearing, with many citing unsafe, freezing conditions and inadequate time to relocate. flag The building, owned by an out-of-town investor and now managed by receiver Friedman Communities, has no heat, broken elevators, and standing water. flag Tenants, including elders and disabled residents, demand 60 days to move and $7,500 in relocation aid. flag The city is working with organizers to extend the deadline but cannot file legal motions on their behalf. flag Despite pledges of support from Mayor Johnson and Governor Pritzker, no concrete assistance plans have been announced, leaving residents in a deteriorating building as winter sets in.
