Chicago Code Enforcement
City of Chicago Department of Buildings inspectors and officers from the Chicago Police Department's Bureau of Counterterrorism oversee the boarding and securing of a vacant apartment building near the intersection of North Leamington Avenue and West Kinzie Street on the West Side of Chicago, Illinois, on June 2, 2025. The dilapidated structure shows signs of long-term abandonment and code violations and is declared off-limits as city contractors board up doors and windows under official order. The action is part of a broader public safety and nuisance abatement effort by the City to mitigate hazards posed by unsecured vacant buildings in high-risk neighborhoods.
