Rezoning Hearing Sought on 57th Street by University of Chicago
The University of Chicago seeks rezoning of the south 57th Street business strip to allow a Chinese restaurant in 1335 E. 57th. The building currently housing Stineway Drug is vacated and Gordon's Restaurant at 1321 E. 57th relies on non conforming use. The plan prompts questions from Hyde Park Kenwood residents ahead of a Friday City Council hearing.

Mann introduces tenant rights bills in Illinois House
State Representative Robert Mann files measures to curb landlord retaliation and improve housing code enforcement. House Bill 2042 shields tenants who sue over code violations or join housing groups. House Bill 2600 enables injunctions to force code compliance, with contempt for noncompliant landlords. House Bill 2059 extends injunctions to landlords who refuse to rent to families with children under 14 absent overcrowding. House Bill 2041 would provide access to court counsel by appointing licensed attorneys as special State's Attorneys if needed.
