    No surprises about HUD. Senator Obama’s office is helping me have the city of Chicago explain to both of us why the city codes and ordinances are not being enforced. I wish tenants had a HUD like agency that could challenge the city on a lack of response or unfair circuit court (crook county circus court)decision. The landlords provide the building. The city should do annual inspections and respond to 311 city inspection tenant requests. Circuit court judges and the city should question why a tenant group and tenant attorney did not report a building to HUD if they helped the tenant win money from their unit and building communal areas not being up to code. I hope that Senator Obama’s work will pave the way for change and a guarantee that tenant social justice could exist.
