Happy Sinkhole de Mayo
Video courtesy of a dedicated reader:
That's the main floor of the 001 District. That crack is about 4 inches wide at the bottom. If the building isn't in two pieces shortly, it will be eventually. We've seen better construction in adobe mud huts.
Seriously, how much concrete did the contractor short the job site for the slab to be collapsing and the walls buckling this badly? Someone ought to be in jail for this. Well, in a municipality where the government wasn't bought and paid for maybe. Not here in other words.

the next 2 elections.
opportunity is knocking.....
At least the connected "minority" contractor was able to get that contract in order to provide that poor quality craftsmanship. Plus he was able to kick back a little to the top. Now a new "minority" contractor will get the no bid contract to repair this and be able to kick back more to the 5th floor of city hall. This was probably purposely done to keep the cycle of graft going.
THAT is some scary assed shit! The building isn't even that old...maybe the vibrations from the nearby CTA tracks caused it!
OT:
"Went to the academy today for training. A couple of thoughts.
Why does the front lawn look like $hit? The grass is knee high and full of weeds. Do we not hire people to cut the lawn anymore?"
Yeah the grass at 004 looks pretty pitiful too.
There's more on the 2nd floor.
Could you imagine the inspector, or lending institution rep. if you tried to sell your home in this condition? Yet we are forced to work, and live 8+ Hours under untold conditions as bad, and I know, worse than this.
Keep lining the pockets of the clouted- The peon workers be damned.
LOOK OUT BELOW!!
I thinly it is a trap set by Daley to finaly capture the COOTER.
years ago i went into the old 018 to take a constitutional in the basement and it was like being in a third world country--- similar to a forest preserve head--- nasty and smelly with all kinds of critters scampering about....
It is actually worse than the vid shows. Check out the area by the front desk. I guess the city figures that if they inject enough caulk the building will stay together. Doors to secure areas don't close, concrete is falling from the walls, the gaps in the walls are large enough to insert a hand, and ceilings are buckling.
Its to bad there isnt a sink hole some where around 15th and Indiana to get rid of some Chicago trash that been around twenty some years to long.
My garage from Danley was better built.
Yhe 20th District had all sorts of problems. The city overpaid for these new stations and on top of that they got shit construction form the favored contractors. Typical of daley's fraud and theft.
Millennium Park had hundreds of millions in cost overruns, whole sections of the underground garage had to be ripped out and redone. daley then blamed the contractor and refused to pay, forcing the contractor to endure years of court action to get paid for the work shortshanks demanded by done by 2000.
daley screamed to get construction going and lots was done before adequate engineering studies were done. Then they had to rip lots out and redo it.
What was originally budgeted at $125 million eventually cost over $500 million and no one knows the true cost to this day.
Life in daley city.
just keep filling it with caulk!!! the Chicago way.
What the video doesn't show is the pipes that are overhead under the ceiling tiles and how thwy are bending. Just a matter of time before they snap. Some of the doorways are so bent that you can't close the door anymore.
I HEARD THE COMPANY THAT RENOVATED OHARE'S TERMINAL OUTSIDE WAS A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS OVER BUDGET AND THAT THE PROJECT CAN'T PASS CODE. SO THE CITY GAVE THAT SAME COMPANY A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT TO FIX THEIR OWN MISTAKES...WTF!
You can no longer open that door in the picture, either. Lost usage of that storage room.
This is probably a result of Mike Madigan getting under qualified applicants into University of Illinois, who than study architecture and go on to get "political" no show jobs with Walsh or Kenny construction.
That 'fault' line goes through both buildings. The best part is that they tried to fix it with caulk!
Can anyone help us in Mass Transit get the 4/2?
O. T. but in the same building as 001......Our Watch Rep returned from a meeting yesterday from HQ and said Comm O'Neil is a liar in that he keeps telling us Dep Petersen will not approve the 4/2's for Mass Transit. But then Dep Petersen is saying the 4/2's are approved and Comm O'Neil from MLAS is lying and he won't approve them. It is a horrible ping pong game with both of them seeming to enjoy the lies while hurting the livelihood of the officers of Mass Transit. O'Neill and Petersen I know you read this site, please grow and stop lying to the officers faces about who won't approve 4/2's or just be a man and say NO already. And you wonder why morale is low?
Maybe the same "crooktractor" that did 35th St.?...I had to use the mens room on 1st flr. and it was so filled with sewer gas,...I mean raw "sewer" gas, not of the flatulant kind.....I notified the "desk", and they called it in to "maintainance", who I'm sure, got right on it, because, later I saw a big white, garbage bag over the urinal?...I think if one were to have lighted a match,..KA-BOOM!! ..
Not sure how many politicians were at St. Judes - but I did see Forest Claypool standing along the route - I can appreciate him coming.
Federal Indictment Double Header
Well, if they're going to put people in jail for shoddy, inflated, inside dealer construction work, add Millenium Park to that list.
Remember?
Part of the deal was that a certain percentage of the construction companies had to be minority construction companies. They weren't satisfied that a given number of construction 'workers' were minorities, they had to be outside minority owned, operated and staffed minority construction companies. Many new 'alleged' qualified companies were formed, sprung up and bid. They hired one such company, not necessarily because of reputation or low bid but because they 'qualified' as a required minority firm. Their job was to form and pour concrete for all the underground area below Millenium Park. I believe the underground garage may have been part of that as well.
Well, after a rocky start they fell waaaaay behind in their work. They set the whole schedule off for all the other construction companies. They were given a pass at first because nobody wanted to be the person(s) that sanctioned them out of fear of labeling them.
This went on and on and they were repeatedly warned but same old, same old.
Finally they were given an ultimatum as they caused millions of dollars of extra money because of their delays.
They were finally fired and the concrete work was given to a (Daley ally) construction firm to 'finish.'
That company went in, inspected their work and found that they could not merely finish the work started because it was not properly poured and/or reinforced and all their work had to be wrecked and redone per the plans and code, now at a cost of ten's of millions of dollars!
The corker was that the same minority contractor sued the city for releasing them from the contract, job site.
Anybody go to jail on that fiasco?
Cheez, wonder who did the work on 001 and 35th St. Just asking?!
My wife, an astute observer of "The Chicago Way", saw this & immediately asked: "Who's brother in law got that contract?
Typical gov. funded building. Who was the GC? Must've been someone with connections. (not in in this town) This is what happens when you cut corners....less structural concrete. That wall is concrete block set on a concrete foundation. Poor work ethics. Was this a union job?! If so....then shame on them! No pride in their craft!! Now I know where all my tax dollars go....to shottie construction.
Cinco de Mayo
Today is May the 5th
A little history for those who may not know...
Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.
This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico.... But as we know....the great ship did not make it to New York....The ship hit an iceberg and sank....and the cargo was forever lost....
The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery....were disconsolate at the loss....
Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning which they still observe to this day.... The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th.... and is known....of course....as Sinko de Mayo....

Still can't top the then new Area 4/011 with "the stairwell that led to nowhere" and piping too thin for raw sewage.
Tossing big taxpayer dollars down a rathole in the name of bungling "minority contractors".
Stay off of that elevator!
Same problem in brand new 022. Check out entrance to female bathroom near second floor workout room.
You guys are crazy, that's called a settlement crack and is perfectly normal, silly. My neighbor's kid is a city inspector and saw the video and he agrees. And he's really smart too for being so young, 16 yrs old. He's like the Doogie Howser of building inspecting.
a couple of months ago, some fat ass over paid city engineers were inspecting the whole building. they took core samples from the front....never heard or seen anything since..the building is literally sinking and will eventually crack apart.and yes...you cannot close any of the doors in the cooridor that lead to mass traffic. the building has shifted that bad.
That is just one of many huge cracks in the walls in 001. Its a running joke to find the largest cracks in the wall. The funny thing is that many of them are filled with caulking, as if that solves the problem.
"Same problem in brand new 022. Check out entrance to female bathroom near second floor workout room."
Haven't been able to yet. Trying to get transferred.
Wasn't the new 1st district/traffic unit building built on the site of the old junk yard. It was there for years. When the city forced/taxed most junk yards out of the city no one wanted to build on that land because of the contaminated ground from leaking fluids left from the junked vehicles. I wonder if they cleaned the site up before construction? Has to be a relative in that business..
unreal, it looks like its ready to go.
Heres part of the story on the 001st Dist and the Traffic Section/ Mass Transit group. It was completed and turned over in 2000 less then to years ago. The First District was bid on and awarded to Walsh Construction AKA " The Bureau of Walsh " as it is reffered to in City Hall. The Traffic/ Mass Transit Group was awarded to a second Contractor whise name escapes no at the moment. ( Look into it Fran and Frank ) The two sections were actually seperated by a plywood wall. The area shown on the video is actually the area completed by the non Walsh contractor. Not that it matters much the area completed by Walsh in the First District side is also showing stress crack and signs of sinking. THe entire site was built on an old junk yard site that has contaminated soil that has to be removed and backfilled, That is most likely the reason for the sinking and crack appearing issues on both sides of the building. It requires an engineeriung study, core samples of the ground and a lawsuit on behalf of the taxpayers against both construction companies. Not likely to happen with the heavy campaign donors from Walsh involved, but thats the story. Frank and Fran get some FOIAS out there with the Building and Enviroment Departmemts US attorney get the EPA involved about the cleanup of the site and health hazards that may have been legt behind for the officers workking in the buildingm besides the stuctural issues. Get on it and discover the multiple layers of corrution surrounding the obviously shoddy workmanship, approved permits and passed building permits as the construction moved forward in an obviously substandard manner. I challenge you all.
I'll take the cracked walls in 001 over the asbestos in 012 any day of the week!

That building looks worse than in the video. I was working special a while back & had to walk the hallway over to 001 & I couldn't believe how bad it was. The whole building looks like it's going to split in half. I believe the building is only about 10 years old at the most right?? Shitty contractor work, it's just gonna cost more taxpayer money.

Awww, poor baby. If it's so so bad over there in that demanding unit called mass transit, why don't you bid out to a district? You don't actually think us in the districts give a shit about your schedule, do you? You guys never work an 8 hour day, never answer calls, never have to deal with
1/10th of the shit we have to deal with. So yeah, no pity from me.
This isn't actually a comment on your current post. It's a question that hopes to draw on your knowledge and experience.
We have been hearing gunfire nearly every night recently and then--some before the shots and some after--we hear guys talking/yelling very close to our home about who they're going to shoot next. So far, they haven't decided to shoot me or my wife.
What we don't hear in the late-night episodes is any police involvement. People in this neighborhood are 1) afraid to become known to the gangbangers as "cop-callers" 2) probably aware that by the time the police arrive, the bangers will be long gone and 3) unsure what can really be done to make the neighborhood any safer. I'm coming to you to ask if you know anything that can work to stop gang members from shooting up our streets every night.

Bid rigging is standard practice at Walsh Construction. Walsh will under bid all competition and win the contract, then woops, the city changes the specs to the job. Walsh keeps the contract, but must bill higher then the contracted bid due to changes made by the city. Kick backs are made as a result. And the work is obviously sub standard. It is a classic Bid rigging / kick back scheme. In other words, the chicago way. Any wonder why our taxes and cost of living is the highest in the nation. Were getting ripped off by the daley syndicate and associates.
I understand that neigboring states are looking at the Arizona immigration law with the intention of possibly adopting this law into their state.
I, as a police officer, will not participate in enforcing the immigration law.
According to Citizen-Times.com, Arizona law allows police officers to make an attempt to determine a person's immigration status only during a police stop for some other offense and if there is
"reasonable suspicion" that the person is an illegal immigrant. Police may only arrest a person if there is "probable cause" that the person is an unlawful alien with no valid ID.
I must advocate that law enforcement officers will be conducting unethical profiling to make arrests. Therefore, citizens who are legally here will be stereotyped and subjected to unnecessary probing of their personal information.

How about "tilt a whirl" 35th street! The doors are everyway but straight, cold blows through, the floors leak from upstairs all the way into medical section, the desks have 'shim" so drawers don't open by themselves. How about the parking lot, no sewers it is tilted so that water flows inside when it rains, the city pays some illegal mexican company big bucks to put the 'squeegee" crew together to keep pushing water out! The plumbing is cheap, many times sinks are broken, toilets are fucked up.
BUT HERE WE GO BOYS AND GIRLS DALEYS FRIENDS THE PAYOFF BOYS WALSH CONSTRUCTION HAVE 3 NEW PRIVATE JETS AND 2 COPTERS COMPLIMENTS OF US THE TAXPAYERS! wONDERHOW MUCH THEY HAD TO PAYOFF DALEY AND THE 50 COWARDS? PATRICK FITZGERALD WE KNOW YOUR BUSY, BUT WE COULD HELP YOU LOAD UP THE BUSSES!

The 4/2s suck, maybe won't suck as bad for Mass Trans if you don't have to wait around for car for an hour, but they still suck, if you want 4/2s so bad work a disrict beat car.
Kenny Construction was doing sewer work in Mt. G. This after the city laid off workers. Kenny not only charges prevailing wage (which is fine by me) but makes a profit on top. Which would also be okay accept that some city workers loss their jobs so that cronies of city government officials could get a contract. Why did the aldermen let this happen?
I went to active shooter training at Near North. No A/C and the roaches were bigger than the rats in 007.
Does anybody care anymore? And if so, why? 1 and 16, that's all that matters. Don't be a Don Quixote for this shithole Chicongo.
Sergeant's Association election troubles, but don't worry, the fix is in! Kirchner "declared" the winner, after all sorts of shenanegans. Just happens to coincide with the new Sergeant's contract being pushed through: no arbitration, according to the PBPA's "legal experts." Hmmm, the last guy was indicted for stealing a million dollars, now this. Oh, and they are preventing you from logging on to the website. Sounds a lot like the FOP...

I am talking aobut the 2nd District. I don't work there, regularly but everytime I have, even for short periods I get sick from the mold in the air.
I understand from the people who do work there that there has been a cancer cluser from that place and the are crusts of mold in the vent system.
If some of that shit falls out, let's bring it to city hall in a gift jar and lay it on Alderthief's Beale's desk. Don't tell him what it is until he opens it. Tell his we live with this stuff. I am sure he can find a connected company to clean up, at least his office.

Ha! thought we got screwed? look at the contract proposal for Sgts.
Same raise as us. Optical, GONE (effectually wipes out any raise)! their big win? A shell game with the personals and baby furloughs, including three days the City can block out.
the seperation has got nothing to do with the concrete, being a masonary worker for 25 years i'd suspect it was caused by not using brick ties in between the morter joints. they look like metal wire step ladders and are laid on top of each corse of brick in the morter to support and interlock each corse together, and or poorly mixed morter with not enough portland cement added in the mix. in short poor workmanship! when the building started to settle you get a sepration in the brick work like that depicted. it will have to be torn out and relaid properly with brick ties added and a ritcher morter mix used at some point. U father of a cop....
First, how do you expect da boyz to get their kick-backs if the corrupttractors actually used the grade A materials that the city paid for instead of the factory seconds.
Second, boohoo, poor mass transit doesn't have the 4-2 schedule. Your looking for district guys to cry for you? Bwahahahahahaha! Grab a par-form you can have 4-2 in a district.
You've been in the tubes to long, you've lost touch with reality.
Keep sending pictures of these multi-million dollar state of the art disasters. Maybe just maybe a media person who is not in Daley's pocket will pick up on this waste of tax payer dollars and corrupt contract awards.
The person making the comments about the then new ARea 4 forgot the best one. The urinals were hung on the walls and the wonderful minority contractors said they were coming back later to install pipes.
Where are the investigative reporters to delve into these types of scandals? Oh, I forgot, there are no real journalists anymore, just lapdogs who want to help the socialists "change" the world.
Can anyone help us in Mass Transit get the 4/2?

Hey 11:36. You don't get to pick which laws you will enforce, and whatever your feelings about the recent Arizona legislation, all that state did was mimic unenforced federal legislation. Why the feds don't enforce it is beyond me. But if you really think you can pick and choose the laws to enforce, you are sadly mistaken, and made a poor career decision. Perhaps a job in some private industry that is not "clothed in public service" (to quote SCOTUS, it refers to hotels, restaurants, theaters) would be more to your liking. That way you can pick and choose your clientele. Until that time, shut up and do your job AND stop whining about laws you don't like that aren't on the book here. It makes you look like an attention whore and is totally out of place.

You are right except you have it backwards. Walsh did the Traffic/Mass Trans. The other guy did the 1st district. He actually was a retired copper (Non-minority too.)
I think the problem also stems from the land they built it on was a long time junk yard. I'm sure that had something to do with it.
To the idiot copper from 023 with the 11:36 AM post... listen up. It is not your job to interpret the law knucklehead. It is your job to enforce it. And if you are not willing to do that then get the hell off the job. Your ridiculous rhetoric is an embarrassment to real police officers everywhere. If you don't like the law then work to get it changed.

Those overhangs were mis-measured and they had to place steel girders underneath as support so that the overhangs don't collapse. They have an engineer on 24/7 to make sure the overhangs don't shift. Where's the media on this one??? Talk about a sink hole. Why can't this city get the best contractors/architects/engineers to build in this city? Why is it always so political and fraudulently accomplished only for it to turn to shit.

Don't worry "singed", according to our very own GO we cannot ask an arrestee or "probable cause" possible arrestee their naturalization status. We actually get in trouble for that, don't you know? That's why 1/2 of county jail is full of illegals who return to their paradise, also known as Chicago, to cause more mayhem and crime. You can thank our mayor for what this city has become. Have you noticed "singed" that almost every inner city public school's billboard shows some type of announcement in both English and Spanish? It's because the parent latino population don't, won't and can't speak English because guess what, they don't belong here, but their anchor babies are taking full-fledged participation in our public school system that we are paying taxes for. Get your thumb out of your ass and wake up.

To the Citizan, this would normally be a case job that the old gangs unit would work. Now, i dont know who exactly but gang intelligence, i think, would be the ones to talk with. You definitely want to work with a unit that handle cases, the district/area gang tactical teams arent the same either.

Come on, old residents know why 22 is sinking.
I understand that neigboring states are looking at the Arizona immigration law with the intention of possibly adopting this law into their state.
I, as a police officer, will not participate in enforcing the immigration law.

Then get a desk job a**hole! All of our police powers can be abused if someone has the mind to. Does that mean you don't enforce any laws? I bet you write a sh*tload of parkers to keep the boss happy and your comfy spot in boystown though. Let me see your papers!
SO THE BUILDING WAS BUILT LIKE SHIT.
BUT HAS ANY EXEMPT IN THE BUILDING FILED A SAFETY REPORT?
ITS FUNNY U GIVE A CLOWN A SPOT AND THEY CRY IF U PARK IN A SUPERVISOR SPOT BUT WHEN ITS TIME TO EARN UR PAY THEY WANT TO ACT LIKE THEY ARENT IN CHARGE. U EITHER R IN CHARGE OR KEEP UR FRICKING HEAD DOWN AND APPROVE CHARGES U NEED EXPLAINED TO U.
U SHOULD INFORM UR FOP UNION REP TO FILE A SAFETY COMPLAINT IT PRETTY EASY AND THE CLOWN WHO THINKS HE RUNS THE BUILDING WILL HAVE TO PUSH THE PAPER UP THE CHAIN. MAKE SURE U DOCUMENT TIMES/DATE AND DONT BE A LAME ASS AND TAKE SOME PICS W/ UR WIVES 300 DOLLAR DIGITAL CAMERA.
IF U DONT CARE THEN DEAL WITH IT HOPEFULLY U NEVER ARE HURT BUY LEAD POISON / MOLD/ OR GAS LEAKS THAT OCCUR WHEN BUILDING SHIFT AND PIPES BREAK.
Anyone been in Area 1 lately? It's brutal 75-80 degrees outside and the heat is blasting has to be atleast 95 degreesin there. How do you work in that? It's like a suana

Same thing in 003. Had some civilian saying it was "cold" a few days ago (mind you it was in the 70s outside). Next day? Heat is blasting. Which is the norm there.
Kenny Construction was doing sewer work in Mt. G. This after the city laid off workers. Kenny not only charges prevailing wage (which is fine by me) but makes a profit on top. Which would also be okay accept that some city workers loss their jobs so that cronies of city government officials could get a contract. Why did the aldermen let this happen?
I see private contractors all over the city doing jobs that should be done by government workers. Who are these people who are given access to crucial infrastructure? They are not screened, and as the police we do not even know if they belong in the manholes or on the utility lines. Also, how come the grass is not getting cut around the parks on the northwest side? Cut the grass and clean the streets, you pig politicians!
Therefore, citizens who are legally here will be stereotyped and subjected to unnecessary probing of their personal information.
Singed,
P.O. in 23rd District

You are not a Police Officer.
To the 023 District Ranger":
Let's look at two recent A/5 cases. Illegal African national shoots 13 year old girl in the head while he's 'bangin'. 2 pages of violent crime arrests and no deportation. Tell that girl's mom why you aren't enforcing that law this Mother's Day, won't you?
Illegal Mexican immigrant. Several arrests , no deportation. This pyro set HUNDREDS of fires in occupied and unoccupied buildings, yet the Mayor's sanctuary city policy kept him here.
Sleep well Mr. 023. You have your integrity to keep you warm at night. Dream about that mom on Sunday. will you?
Lets not forget the cook county courthouse. Im sure there are high levels of asbestos on floors, pipes etc.
