Barber building boarded up after tenants evacuate
A four story apartment at 4740-44 Dorchester in Hyde Park was boarded up by the city after tenants left when water and power were cut off. Owner Judge Barber allegedly failed to pay bills, prompting a criminal housing management filing by State's Attorney Edward Hanrahan. Some tenants hope to move to Lake Village, while others fear being kept out of affordable housing. DUR had promised relocation guarantees, though DUR is not responsible for the boarding up.
