Well This is Gross

Once again, a new(er) police station with "top-notch" construction that in any other city, would result in the building inspectors and health department shutting it down and declaring it "uninhabitable."

Welcome to the First District:




Yes, that's sewage and human waste. According to the letter, these plumbing problems have been ongoing for months, the building smells, and lord knows what's growing on the floors and dripping down the walls below. The FOP has been out taking pictures and preparing a safety grievance, but so has Facilities Management who has been notified on multiple occasions but who merely puts up a sign and waits for things to dry out.

Here's another picture that might get someone moving on this since they City doesn't seem to care about coppers working in these conditions:


QUICK!!! The prisoners are in danger of having human waste dripping on them from the coppers' bathroom! It's almost like the police are torturing the prisoners!!! Call Amnesty International!!! Brutality!!!!!

Hey? Maybe JJJr could clean up here as part of his sentence - he's getting pretty good at this we heard (see post below this one.)

These will be the same connected contractors building the new high school named after Obama, the new DePaul arena and hotel, the road to nowhere aka downtown to Chinatown, and of course the enlarged beach/island and reconfiguration of LSD. Nothing but the best for us suffering taxpayers. With the city in such deep debt do we really need any of these projects? NO. Do our corrupt self serving greedy politicians need these projects? YES. Guess who wins.

Isn't Felicia Davis (a former Chicago Cop) now Rahm's head of the Buildings dept.? Maybe we should flood that website on the CityofChicago.org website with emails demanding some action on these kinds of things.
Whatever happened to that hapless hack Bonnie Amado? Is she still around?

Did the City hire union plumbers for that job? Maybe they got a good deal using some plumbers just up from Mexico?

You are probably right, once copper waste starts dripping down on the heads of the prisoners, you will get things fixed. The only other suggestion is to set up some porta-potties and tents in the parking lot and work out of there. At least the weather is warming up.

you should see the big air filters that have NEVER been changed out. my buddy works for a company that does all the stores and shopping centers. he tells me they are supposed to be cleaned at least once a month and the filters should be changed no longer that each 2 months. the filters in 001 have NEVER been changed since the bldg was built. They don't care about us. Never have, never will. The toilets and bathrooms and locker rooms. Now that is some sick shit. How about the cleaning people that don't speak English, they use dirty sewer water to mop the floors. a couple coppers have thrown up in their mouths smelling the scum.

Yup, same problem in 006 the last couple years from time to time. Just walk in, hop over a couple sewage puddles, and I get to my locker. Get my belt and vest on, hop over a couple more sewage puddles, go to roll call. I think from time to time about my car in the unsecured lot; think from time to time about the unsecured station. The sum is an unsecured station, an unsecured lot, and sewage in my "house". Then I get to answer calls from the fine citizens of 006. Sad times gentlemen.

"If you coppers would just do some work and generate some revenue instead of complaining, the city wouldn't be in such dire financial straits... That's why Rahm is going to push you guys aside, you don't share or fit into his vision for the city's future."

"So what? There's a little water on the floor! Why don't you coppers cowboy-up? We taxpayers are sick of you and your constant crying about your working conditions. Just go away already, nobody cares."

"You knew it was going to be like this when you signed up. If you don't like it, just quit already. Your job is easy, a trained chimp can do it for far less pay and no complaining. "

Officers have been directed to poop on the lawn on the south east edge of the building. The city will supply plastic bags that can be used to clean up the poop. Any officer who does not clean up his own poop will be sparred. Officers have been instructed to urinate in the parking lot.

McCarthy will give a press conference this afternoon about the new policy. It is an innovation in the new green economy for the city. Rahm has said that if we can do this in all police districts and all city buildings people will be swimming in the Chicago River by August.

Along these same lines, we seem to have a VERY disturbing trend going on in 011. The number of officers who have died from cancer, the number diagnosed and still fighting it, and the number of young, otherwise healthy people diagnosed with debilitating diseases is grossly out of control. When compared to the average population, the incidence of cancer and other diseases of people that work in 011 is through the roof. We have had at least 4 cancer related deaths in the last five years, and several other diagnosed cases. There are also at least 4 other people (that I know of) that have been diagnosed with other health conditions that would be considered scarce in a population of the same size that don't work in 011. Our building was built in the 70's and has been plagued with mold, asbestos, leaking sewage, decades of dust and dirt in filters and vents and God knows what else. These health problems and deaths are NOT coincidental. But the city can't be bothered with it. Just bring in those contact cards and suffer silently.

well since we're talking about the shoddy construction that these whoever construction companies got rich off of the city , let me chime in & add to the mix.

the 12th district- only 17 months since it opened, and which cost 22 million dollars, just had the portable air-conditioning units ( at a cost of approx 4 thousand per week to a private company) put in place for the second consecutive year just yesterday May 15th. Remember, last summer was the 1 st summer in that new 22 million dollar building and the air-conditioning didn't work. ( and at that time the building was only 5 months old, and here we are, not even hot weather has arrived yet, but they are quick to come install these portable units with vents connected to the ceiling ducts. WOW!! but they can't come out to fix the simplest of issues like plumbing ( yes 12 has plumbing problems too ), let alone the other cookie cutter districts like 001? B.S.!!!!! Shit a lot of the windows with the hand cranks don't work, even the electronic ones with the switch,thus rendering them inoperable, and those rolling electronic shades in the community room ( how much did these cost?) broke, fell off just within the last couple of weeks and were tossed in the dumpster. Do the math, spend a couple of hundred thousand dollars ,like cook county did at the old 13th district and bring it up to code and give it a fresh face lift and you could've saved 21 million and kept those 2 districts opened without closing them!. the old 12th district is shuttered but gets used by the television production companies ( probably Ari- 9.5's big Hollywood producer brother.

Let’s say it was a private business like a restaurant. This building would have been shut down immediately. Daily visits would be made by building inspectors, electrical inspectors, plumbing inspectors and public health inspectors. Agencies such as OSHA and the E.P.A. could provide support and pile on. The city will reap excessive revenues through A.N.O.V.s, other assorted compliance fines and inspection fees. This problem is potentially so costly it will get fixed overnight. The costs are enormous through fines, lost business, legal representation and intangibles such as a loss in the business’s reputation and standing in the community. This business owner can only hope one of their friends is a part-time city council member to smooth thing$ out.

Wouldn’t it be nice to eliminate the double standard? Private ownership and businesses have skin in the game. Public buildings have entrenched perpetually busy building managers, rigorous lengthy red-tape laden paperwork processes and non existent tradesmen. A perfect combination for bureaucratic inaction. It seems building managers would rather prolong or avoid addressing this problem rather than fixing a serious health and safety condition in the workplace which they have been granted responsibility to oversee.

Public buildings and those responsible for its management don’t get ANOV or fines and certainly not rigorous attention to detailed compliance of the municipal code for buildings by so many different probing inspectors. One non enforceable set of rules for government entities. Another set of enforceable rules for those private owners who can be utilized as a funding resource to enhance revenue generating opportunities by the city. Private owners are made an example, making them vulnerable identified targets for civil lawsuits, while things occurring under the watchful eyes of city managers get a pass.

The real question is whether or not enough data been gathered on this situation in order to make an accurate assessment of the appropriate response. A team of analysts, preferably from a selective university, clearly needs to be funded in order to research the following inquiries: 1. Is it #1, #2 or a combination of #1 and #2 which causes the undesirable effects? 2. Does a mid-#2 courtesy flush affect the outcome in any measurable way? 3. How do officers' eating and drinking choices contribute to the facility's plumbing functions? Only once the data is accurately assessed can the problem be rectified.

Hey Office, I work in 016 and I agree with what you say. There are some pussy cops here that refuse to curb the shitheads and enforce zero tolerance on them. They would much rather pull the elderly over and berate them for nonsense. These are the same lazy cops who then bitch that the district is being overrun by gang bangers. I apologize for the way they talked to your parents, it's embarrassing. Just remember, these are the same guys who probably sleep in their hole all night and then come out to get their VRI activity and are too afraid to do real police work.

Isn't the 001st district building literally separating? Aren't giant gaps in brick walls evidenced throughout the building and filled with caulking which has no weight bearing structural properties? Shouldn't the contractor be held liable for faulty construction? Lots of these "new" building have leaky plumbing, leaky roofs, sinkholes surrounding sewers in the parking lots, cracking foundations, separating brickwork in exterior walls, uneven floors to name a few problems. Its only public money. What consultants were assigned the task of overseeing the construction of these building assuring only quality material and quality construction methods were utilized?

On the topic of city contractors. How does the city find so many non-English speaking residents to do cement work, drive semi-trucks and pave the streets? When you ask these guys for directions, it is apparent these workmen haven't resided in the city, but somehow are employed working for the city?

We hear so much mantra about rebuilding and reinvesting in our infrastructure. Its always the drumbeat for more taxes and lots more spending. Look at the Chicago’s pothole ridden roads which resemble the surface of the moon rather than the roads to the 21st Century. Then there is the 001st district which looks like it just went through a magnitude 5earthquake with separating walls and leaky water pipes. Both are compelling arguments on display that public financed infrastructure projects somehow don’t equate to quality and suggest that somehow someone is cutting corners. Would private money by private investors be invested in such shoddy workmanship on their investment into the 21st century? Maybe Jesse Jr. can get the custodian contract based on his “work” experience absent of any past political connections to get back into the municipally funded money laundering public contract schemes.

That's nothing. The old 023rd District was much worse. When there was heavy rain the sewers erupted through the toilets and flooded about 6" on fecal material in the basement.

When the rains started, PO's would radio the desk crew asking that someone go down there and turn off the valves. But since their lockers were upstairs they didn't GAF-enough to bother.

Finally the valves were closed and toilets shut down.

Good to see how much the higher-ups care...

With 8 years experience, you should know your options. I would confront him and ask what happened? If he was a asshole then get a verbal abuse beef. Definitely attend traffic court to fight the ticket. It has been my experience that assholes like the one in 016 are cowards. He could have given the ticket but show respect. Nice to vent on the blog but you need to do more and confront him. Just remember the karma bus.

In the new 019, when the temperature hits 90 or above the power in the building fails from some type of electrical overload due to a screwed up electrical system.

This topic infuriates me. To think that police officers are expected to work in conditions like this goes against what any decent human being would stand for. And yet, do we hear about it anywhere but here?

I just find it amazing that with today's technology a group of young people or new journalists have not thought of creating their own news media group. We have independent blogs, You Tube, servers, encryption, everything someone would need (all free) to start a media group that would not be influenced or edited by any established government or political power structure.

Everybody in Chicago knows that the airwaves are filled with the bullshit issue du jour or whatever message the politicians want out there, delivered by so called "reporters" who are bought and paid for. People with values, people who work, pay their bills, pay their taxes have NO voice anymore. WE are the ones who keep the wheels on, we pay for it all. Without US it would all collapse, but where are we ever remotely represented, except by people like John Kass and Ben Joravsky? Why is it that only "community activists" (read criminals) and anarchists (e.g. Anonymous) are using this technology to get their message out there?

This blog has become a respected, trusted and sacrosanct vehicle for the truth. It is a success because there is an audience for it. It is read by people who want to see their values on display or by people who are afraid they are getting busted. It is proof that respectable citizens know they are being spoon fed bullshit by the mainstream media, that they can discern fact from fiction, propaganda from reality and yet this technology has not yet taken a foot hold with anybody on a grander level, other than for the use of garden variety social communications and announcements.

I know there are a lot of truth activists out there working as individuals, community groups, etc. but they need a common point of entry. Young adults graduating from college today are getting fucked. They know it. And as their parents we know they are going to keep on getting fucked. We instilled our values in them. They believe in the same things as we do. We raised them to be thought leaders. Why they aren't organizing as a generation, like we did, is astonishing. Why it hasn't happened already is amazing...

This officer's reputation must be well known where he works. Some gray-haired white shirt(if there are any left) needs to take him aside and have a private talk with him on the facts of life.

No one where I worked except under the most extreme circumstances ever knowingly wrote another cop or family member a ticket. And they could be from anywhere. We have driven some home, brought some of them into the station and sometimes given them a talking to that would make R. Lee Ermey cringe.

A few years back when Mr. Fallon from F.O.P. was alive and on the case, OSHA was contacted about the mess in the men's locker room in the basement of the old 012 dist. Station. They came out and wrote up the city for exposed asbestos all over the place, no exit lights, missing hand rail on some stairs and an inoperative exhaust fan. Don't know if they took samples of the green/gray slime the was leeching out the wall onto the floor of the old gun range, directly across from the locker where one P.O. Died from a brain tumor. Sadly Mr. Fallon died and so did the investigation. Someone even tore the OSHA notice off the wall where it was posted. No one nos nuttin?

Agreed. With all of the abuse, I wish FOP would stop giving them out. I have no stickers or plates on any of my private vehicles or anything that shows that I am the police. Several years back a few cars on my block were "keyed" by person or persons unknown. Every car that was damaged, my own included, had either a police sticker or FOP medallion on it. After that I removed anything and everything that showed I was the police from my cars.

This is nothing new in the 001st District. It has been going on for a few years now. The building is falling apart, separating, smelling, dripping, ready to cave in. No one really cares. They just keep patching it up with small "bandaids".
The Commander's office is good, so don't worry.
