Drug overdoses, gang violence, a fire, and even a murder have befallen one specific apartment complex in Rogers Park – so what's next?
Neighbors on Thursday night demanded a fix for the problem apartment complex that has plagued their community for decades. City leaders say at issue is landlords who have a history of neglecting properties across the area."It's difficult to do something," was the choice of words from Ald. Maria Hadden in regard to the two-building apartment complex at 7650-7654 N. Sheridan Rd. – just north of the intersection with Rogers Avenue – and its problem landlords.
The midcentury brick buildings stand next to the now-vacant Biddy Mulligan's blues and rock club, and a throng of drivers passes them every day traveling into the city limits from Evanston.on what neighbors complain goes on in the complex. Rill described being there watching and taking video while one of the buildings was on fire in August of last year. It became engulfed in raging flames that quickly spread – creating an even more dangerous situation.On Thursday night, there was a call for accountability. Rill was just one in the crowded room for the community meeting – challenging Ald. Haddden and the Rogers Park District police.There have been three deaths at the complex in the two years.
The city is now demanding the landlords, father and son Sargon and Peter Isaac, make permanent changes."No, it's the person doing the thing that's wrong," Hadden said."Make no mistake – the thing that wrong here, the gentlemen who own this property who are not doing what they need to do on an ethical level, right? And to city codes."
