In Chicago, a building notorious for a federal raid now faces a new crisis as numerous residents find themselves on the brink of eviction. The tenants, who have endured both the raid and what they describe as intolerable living conditions, are now confronting the prospect of losing their homes.

On a seemingly ordinary Tuesday morning, the sight of a board-up crew at 7500 S. South Shore Drive caught residents off guard. Just a day before Thanksgiving, the unexpected appearance of an eviction notice added to their distress.

“It’s unjust. We’re facing this treatment despite not having done anything wrong. We certainly don’t deserve this,” expressed Travaris Ivy, a resident of the building. His sentiments echo the frustration and helplessness felt by many others in the community.

Despite efforts to organize a tenants’ union, the residents continue to grapple with severe challenges. They report a lack of basic necessities such as heat and electricity, compounded by an inoperable elevator and no support in securing alternative housing.

Tenants said, despite forming a union, there is still no heat, no electricity, no elevator and no help finding other places to live.

Someone shared photos of inside the building last week.

“I have never been through anything like this in my life. I’m a good tenant. I work; this is bad,” Samantha Stamps said.

“There are elders in the building. There are disabled people in the building. There are people in wheelchairs in the building. How are they going to move if the elevators don’t work?” said Infiniti Gant, with Southside Together.

The building got international attention after an immigration raid by Customs and Border Protection agents Sept. 30.

The Trump administration released a highly produced video of the raid, and claims agents were going after alleged criminals inside in the building.

“Because of the ICE raid, there is literally garbage all in these empty apartments. If you all was in there you could smell the trash that left in there vacant apartments,” Ivy said.

“What happened at that building was abominable. I talked about it many, many times. So the tenants of that building are deserving of attention for the concerns that they have,” Gov. JB Pritzker said.

Organizers said they are trying to get tenant information to the mayor’s office to help expedite placements for tenants.

“My administration is working overtime with the organizers of these tenants to ensure that they have a place of comfort and a place where they can afford and feel good about,” Mayor Brandon Johnson said.

Two weeks ago a judge appointed a receiver for the building after financial problems with the owner.

ABC7 Chicago has attempted to get information about plans for the building and tenants from the receiver, but has not gotten any response.

Whatever help may be coming for the people still living here, the tenants will be moving, as temperatures are dropping.
