It's on the sidewalk in front of the building. Not a public building as far as I know. Sorry, didn't take a picture of it.

If this is someone's house and they are doing repairs on it, this might not be a public works problem. If you are not sure contact your alderman and inquire about the liability of the owner.

This is the long-vacant building at 1142 Chapel Street (photo attached). Not sure who owns it, but there were also posts this winter about the owner's failure to do snow removal.

Yes-thanks for the picture. You can see the boards I'm talking about-appears to be a permanent fixture, not there for construction. Sounds like the owners are not around much.

This building is for sale for like $4 million I think. It burned in the 1990's and has been vacant for a long time. The owner died and the family inherited it. Anyway, that's the story. It might be a good idea for the city to get involved and move it along. I'm sure the alderman for this ward knows the story.

I haven't been down there in a while, so I don't know if it's been addressed yet, but this issue has been open for a while so might as well close it.
