The developer of a senior living facility in Rogers Park where three women died on Saturday has repeatedly violated the city’s heat ordinance — the same measure employees apparently cited when they allegedly left the heat on and refused to turn on the air conditioning during last week’s hot spell.
Las Moradas Apartments in Douglas Park also racked up three violations for having “insufficient” heat between January 2018 and December 2019. All told, the complex has accrued 14 building code violations since 1999.
Reed’s son, Veldarin Jackson Sr., previously told the Sun-Times that his mother complained about the heat for days and was given a similar explanation when she approached the staff about turning the air on. Paul Roldan, the HHDC’s president and chief executive, was formerly the board chair of the Cook County Housing Authority and previously served as co-chair of Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s Housing Transition Committee after her election in 2019.
