Mercy Housing - Hate Crimes, Racism and Danger!!!

Thursday, Aug 30, 2007

To Whom it May Concern:

The writer is a five year resident of the above address and is once
again obligated to report severe malfeasance on the part of HWA's
latest property manage and professional clown Ms. B Dupar.

This building uses an intercomm system and the unit in #309 begn to
malfunction over eight weeks ago. Following SOP, I filed two work
orders with the Keystone Cops, er, Janitorial Staff. The first was
ignored, then Janitor "Steve" had the brazen audacity to return the
second - though he claimed to have entered #309 to fix the problem, I
was preset all the time and he did not - BUT HE CHOSE TO LIE and it
was ignored. At the same time, I had made our new "Property Manager",
Ms. B Dupar aware of the problem via three "Complaint forms" - all of
which were ignored.

In addiion to the personal safety and inconvenience cause by this
intercoom issue, it seems to be some sort of electrical problem, which
also creates a FIRE HAZARD to the ENTIRE BUILDING!

I just learned today that Mr. Joe Day, in #314 has had the same
problem with his intercomm - ALSO FOR EIGHT WEEKS! And Ms DuPar has
also DONE NOTHING FOR HIS PROBLEM! What the hell is this?

These dangers are a serious violation of Chicago Residential Code,
Chapter 5-10-070 but are being ignored by our incompetent
"Management", though they continue to conduct ILLEGAL SEARCHES EVERY
THIRTY DAYS (and now even EVERY WEEK) in violation of 5-S-12-050 which
clearly states that a Lanldord's Right of Access shall be
REASONABLE!

To add to the insanity here, the new resident of #310 (my old room), a
tatoo-laden freak known as "Angel" attempted to steal items to sell
(probably to get a fix) from Mr. Les B in Room #300 - this "Angel" is
yet another violent jailbird to compliment the ignorant thug in #308,
Marus Johnson of "You gonna DIE White Honkey Motherf**Ker" fame!

· What the HELL IS GOING ON HERE?>
· Why must this latest "Property Manager" REFUSE TO MAKE BADLY NEEDED
REPAIRS THAT EFFECT OUR PERSONAL SAFETY?
· Why must the Elderly and Helpless residents of Mercy Housing be made
to FEAR FOR THEIR VERY LIVES because we are SURROUNDED BY VIOLENT DRUG
USERS AND CONVICTS?

When you combine them, the intent to harass and deny services is
obvious, placing "Management" in serious violation of Section 5-12-150
-

S-12-1 50 Prohibition On Retaliatory Conduct By Landlord.
It is declared to be against public policy of the City of Chicago for
a landlord to take retaliatory action against a tenant, except for
violation of a rental agreement or violation of a law or ordinance. A
landlord may not knowingIy terminate a tenancy, increase rent,
decrease services, bring or threaten to bring a lawsuit against a
tenant for possession or refuse to renew a lease or tenancy because
the tenant has in good faith:
(4 complained of code violations applicable to the premises to a
competent governmental agency, elected representative or public
official charged with responsibility for enforcement of a building,
housing, health or similar code; or
(b) complained of a building, housing, health or similar code
violation or an illegal landlord practice to a community organization
or the news media; or
(c) sought the assistance of a community organization or the news
media to remedy a code violation or illegal landlord practice; or
PAMPHLET COPY 21
(d) requested the landlord to make repairs to the premises as required
by a building code, health ordinance, other regulation, or the
residential rental agreement; or
(e) becomes a member of a tenant's union or similar organization; or
(f) testified in any court or administrative proceeding concerning the
condition of the premises; or
(g) exercised any right or remedy provided by law.
If the landlord acts in violation of this section, the tenant has a
defense in any retaliatory action against him for possession and is
entitled to the following remedies:
he shall recover possession or terminate the rental agreement and, in
either case, recover an amount equal to and not more than two months'
rent or twice the damages sustained by him, whichever is greater, and
reasonable attorney's fees. If the rental agreement is terminated, the
landlord shall return all security and interest recoverable
under Section 5- 12-080 and all prepaid rent. In an action by or
against the tenant, if there is evidence of tenant conduct protected
herein within one year prior to the alleged act of retaliation, that
evidence shall create a rebuttable presumption that the landlord's
conduct was retaliatory. The presumption shall not arise if the
protected , tenant activity was initiated after the alleged act of
retaliation. (prior code $j 193.1- 15,
Added. Council Journal of Proceedings, September 8, 1986, page 33771)


COULD THIS HAVE ANYTING TO DO WITH RACE?

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON MERCY HOUSING?!?!?
