Hyde Park building deconversion cases spark city probe
The 1960s and 1967 suits over deconversion from 35 to 28 units prompt inspector Smith to verify why 35 units were allowed post 1962 deconversion and why 26 code violations noted in the recent suit were dismissed. Investigators review stairwell fire protections, rubbish, unsafe exits, and elevator certificates while owners Louis and Allen Alport face questions tied to 1893 construction and evolving use. The Alport firms also operate city contracts, including parking lots, landscaping, and exteriors for Chicago agencies.
