Nice Building - Again

Word from 35th Street is that the Medical Section people are all worried because some bean-counter is looking to downsize the entire operation. If we had to look at this, we'd want to get as far away as possible from the building before it collapsed:


We hope that's just a leaky pipe, because there are 4 stories above this office, and if it's leaking from the roof, well, we suppose it's just another in a long list of problems to go along with the collapsing floors, buckling walls and drainage issues.

Yeah...

What about all of those Cancer & Respiratory Ailment
Cluster Police Stations that the city knows about and
refuses to address?

FOP?
Shit...
They've had a "Non-Aggression Pact" with City Hall
for years when it comes to stuff like this ever
being exposed.

"Youz guys shaddup 'bout dat!
Don't say nuttin' and we'll give
ya nice jobs an' maybe promote yer kids
when yer terms are up."

How many YOUNG Policemen have been killed
by assorted cancers from working in these
hell-hole Police Stations?

Every time this comes up, there are nothing but
nervous smiles and a lot of buck-passing as to
culpability and the possibility of making
Policemen and their survivors whole.

Know too many Policemen who got sick and succumbed
who worked in the same places...

Take a look...
These are the "dead cops" everybody wants...

Hiding in plain sight.

Not that anyone who has a fuck, actually gives one.

Interesting...
The "Spirits of The Air" related that big-assed
airport style scanning device at HQ was shut down and
abandoned in place because the Coppers running it
were diagnosed with cancer.

"Hush that rebellious, insubordinate talk!
We're gonna get ya fer bringin' discredit
onto the department!"

Do I still get paid if the building collapses?

I would really hate to use my vacation time!

SCC,
Look at it from their perspective.
If the building collapses, it is inconvenient.
If their paycheck stops, THAT is a catastrophe!

Look at all the other police buildings? 025 has had leaks in its roof and basement ceiling for years. They just cover the pipe with a rubber patch. Why even the sink and toilet vent pipes just vent inside the walls. Stinky place they have there. And many of those new stations? Ha..

I'm sure the coppers working there would much rather deal with a leaky building than a leaky ghetto.

Now, kees me you fool!!!!

Don't worry. That's part of living in a banana republic run by communist tyrants. You get your friends and family rich and keep bleeding the people with more taxes to build it again.

Keep voting for those communist democrats, assholes. Put up a yard sign too, to show what a loyal party member you tools are.

Walk in there already injured slip and fall and sue the fuck out of the city for negligence. This is a medical section. Where people who are already injured and vulnerable are required by City arbitrary policy to show up and hand deliver paperwork that in this day could easily be scanned and emailed. It's an archaic system set up as a means of harassing and intimidating people from going on the medical. Wouldn't it be grand if this policy but them in the ass!?

Regardless of what they think they owe its employees, there is a duty to protect those who could be foreseeably injured by ones conduct. Failing to act within a reasonable standard of care is a breach of that duty. If that breach is the actual and proximate cause of an injury-well, then you have negligence!

Obviously a leaky roof/pipe that is making a floor wet is a hazard. Because an employee showing up to a required administrative procedure is an invitee the City's duty is to warn and repair all known or hidden dangers. Failing to fix or adequately remove the employees from the foreseeable harm is a breach of that duty. And sorry-a couple of garbage cans and a yellow sign does not qualify as exhibiting the ordinary duty of care.The injuries sustained would be foreseeable and so long as they are more than mere economic damages the City is fucked! So be careful in there...unless you want a slam dunk case to sue the city!

Being that the medical section is over the gymnasium, I'd be willing to bet that the leak is from the moldy showers and/or the toilets and bidets from 35th Street. Has anyone ever seen Bonita Amados desk? It's stacked with papers to the ceiling something right out of Hoarder's.

Maybe Hibbidy Jibbidy Hilliard can come in and fix it the place, it was built under his watch.

Wow! That is the legendary "tilt-a-whirl" building developed by daley payoff artists walsh and company. Why Tilt-a-whirl? because when first build they put in desks where floors were so uneven the drawers opened by themselves, the gym had round dumbbells,which they quickly got rid of as they were rolling across the floor,and the taxpayers paid double this time for hexagon dumbbells! The doors for example where we get paychecks are so uneven they cannot correctly close, that building is in sad shape, how much mold is everywhere! Like the police stations of old how many coppers succumbed to cancer do to these same type issues? The city don't care the bosses are idiots what do you expect?

Wonder who benefited from political contributions from the contractors for that building. I do know it wasn't the citizens of Chicago. (well, maybe one or two)

The guy that was the Low Bid General Contractor was paid up front. The unskilled Low Bid laborers went unsupervised.
This is what happens when the city uses the politically correct contractor selection plan.
The leak will be fixed in a month using the same practices.
Hey Rahm, get Jimmy Carters Habitat folks to build the next police facility, it will be free and the workers are all skilled in the trades.

I agree. Speaking from experience, our older Northside district has seen it's share and beyond of cancer in many of the troops. Absolutely horrible.

Waxing nostalgic here but, the Ivory Tower had so much more character. From the lockup up to the dispatch center where you could not only watch your zone dispatchers and their board through the hallway windows but could also go in and BS with them:ALL coppers too. The whole place reeked of testosterone. When the police were the police!

Since that's considered a medical office so to speak sounds like a good complaint to the department of health and not the Chicago department of health the state provided budget cuts didn't gut them.... What about legionnaires disease with all that standing water

Can't sue the City for negligence if you are a City employee and working for the City at the time. They passed a State law covering the City for negligence lawsuits from employees. Remember the young PPO that got his eye taken out because Motor Maint. installed a mic where the air bag was?

When they moved into the new building back in 1999 people were tripping on the uneven floors c while walking. The file cabinets are on big shims so they can be level.yes it was Daleys' deal to build this place and his connected company. Plus they had to scrap the multi level parking lot because so much money was spent. PS. I'm hearing that Rahm wants to sell the academy.

If that's how the lobby of the Med. Sec. looks then I'll stay recuperating in my home. If they need/want to see me then they can send one of their many employees out to my house. I'll let them in and guarantee them that the area we meet in will be a whole lot better than that picture.

True. However there are instances where you can sue a second party [private company hired by the city] that created the dangerous condition which caused you injury.
