If you lived at 1358-66 West Greenleaf and got kicked out due to the Stealth Condo Craze you're not alone. All but one is moving. One is going to hold out. We will call her Daisy Duke.
Daisy has to worry about no security in this property. All the doors to the entire tier I visited were un-locked. So was the enterance gate in the photo. She soon has to worry about the water ( see red notice ) and electricity being shut off.
This would send the weaker packing. Not Daisy!
See Daisy is one tough cookie. And she knows someone at "The Broken Heart of Rogers Park". I gave Daisy some advice. I gave Ms. Duke the Rogers Park Community Action Network's number. I told her to call this guy named Fran Tobin. Mr. Tobin got right to the heart of the matter. Hat's off to RPCAN for stepping up to the plate so quickly in all. Still Mr. Tobin, I will be keeping track. I know you are busy trademarking the Save our Lakefront campaign. ( Another story. What's all that about?)
Also the Broken Heart is going to loan her a generator if the electricity is shut off. If we have to, we will get her a port-o-potty. With the help of a few folks, Daisy Duke will stay in her unit until her lease is up in May 2006. Or the owner of the building will follow the legal rules and work with Ms. Duke to re-locate her with-out any out of pocket expenses.

It makes my skin crawl to think of Daisy all alone in an unsecured building (not to be hysterical, but especially in light of what happened at 5373 N. Sheridan.) Is there anything we can do to improve her security situation? BTW, I have a cell phone I'd be happy to give her if she needs one (or would like an extra one)...also some extra blankets and such.
>I really like that citynews webpage, its cool because you can see who owns what property!
Yes, CityNEWS is way cool.
>Its a bit out of date though!
It does lag real estate transactions. It is run by a not-for-profit. If you are serious about finding out who owns a property, use CityNews in conjunction with the Cook County Recorder of Deeds web site. Grab the Property Index Number (PIN) from CityNews.
(And even the CCRD web site lags real estate transactions by about 10 days.)
