Chicago "Problem" Landlord List
To my fellow Chicago investors, wanted to share that the city is now posting a list of "problem" landlords online. The city's rationale and list is linked below. Interested to hear thoughts on this from other people.
City's explanation: "The Problem Landlords List identifies residential building owners repeatedly cited for failing to provide tenants with basic services and protections, such as adequate heat, hot water, and working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Those on the list have been found liable in two or more Administrative Hearing cases within a 24-month period and have three or more serious building code violations."
