Nice New Police Station
This is just lovely - how much was it?
- The new police station at O'hare just opened 1 week ago and we have had two major water issues. The first one was over the weekend when the roof was leaking and flooded the woman's locker room. The second one was just yesterday when third watch came in for roll call and found the all bathroom and floor drains along with the showers were backing up filling the station with raw sewage. Hallways to locker rooms along with the radio room, lockup and some side offices flooded with this disgusting black fowl water along with some brown logs, Only the best for CPD!!!
Well, it's way out at O'Hare, only serves 200 coppers or so, and won't be seen by 99.99% of the public or the media. Perfect place for shoddy workmanship and crooked contracting that can't even properly pitch a waste line.

A bad day at the airport still beats a good day in Englewood....A veteran PO
017's parking lot sewers were not connected to the sewer lines. Our wagon man at the time, Tommy, name may have been changed to protect anonymity, removed the sewer covers and with trusty flash light in hand, determined that our lowest bidder contractor didn't bother hooking the drains to the city sewer lines. Fortunately, it is the lot to the east of the building where only some cops park and the public. That is until they sell it, it's for sale now and then, not only do people cut through the lot to get to the street behind the building, the public will be bouncing around with our personal cars and police vehicles on the south parking lot which will remain. Great security in these buildings. NOT. Any idea why a wagon man would be interested in a parking lot sewer? Because if we got any real amount of rain, the lot drained so slowly, ducks would hang out in the newly minted 017 lagoon.
Will the consent decree monitor show up to inspect? As per the consent decree order that i had to take on e learning. I wont hold my breath.
Ohare should have all the 10 year wonder inside desk dollies handle it. Boy there are a couple winners that latched on to a couple big bosses that got them there
Oh unsightly mess and stench.
Union labor on marijuana glued to cellphones.
And the building inspector? Codes? Standards?
NFL does better prep work before a new stadium opens.
They hire one-on-one temps to flush all toilets in unison.
If I hear one more "my wife is related to this guy" story......
NYC's waterways experience sewage overflows every
3 days. That's just one objection to a proposed
swimming pool in the East River. Seriously, city
planners are not grounded in reality.
It was so nice we built it twice.
The bosses and their city hall masters all
lay back and laugh about this shit.
Imagine how cheap, shoddy and shitty that $95 million
pre-fab storage shed they want to build for you
on top of that toxic waste site at Chicago & Kildare
is going to be?
These rotten, thieving m/fers would drop a
day care on top of a cemetery dug out of a swamp
that actively percolates live Methane if it
meant ill-gotten money in their pockets...
Let alone having ANY consideration for Policemen
and their health and well being.
Fowl water? Sounds like that building is a real turkey.
Leaky roof, shit backing up, next up: TOXIC MOLD!
Sounds like the place is getting broken in from the get go... no need to wait 50 years for it to degrade, it just came "pre-degraded" (no extra charge).
Another fine Walsh project?
Call the bosses in the Skilled Trades Office at O'Hare, a bunch of geniuses over there; on par with some of your award winning bosses.
If that fails, you can call the warehouse for some yellow rubber boots.
You’ll get no sympathy here.
Not when 50% of the coppers assigned to the airports are phone calls while people without phone calls oftentimes spend many years languishing in districts loaded with lead, asbestos, disease-ridden homeless junkies camped out in the lobby and every imaginable hazard under the sun.
Don’t get your collective panties in a bunch, 050 Warriors ... I’m sure all will be made righteous once a few clout babies complain that they “just can’t work under these conditions”.

Chicken water!
With any luck that new 017 lagoon might have a resident crocodile.
Skilled trades office now tree is an oxymoron if there ever was one.
Read the BGA's investigation of $$billions to clouted contractors at O'hare:
https://projects.bettergov.org/2019/ohare/investigation-billions-broken-promises/
did matt O'Shea 19th ward alderman make any cash on the deal? after all he's in charge of airport projects.
You’ll get no sympathy here.

** I agree...sleep in the bed you make cry babies!!! Enjoy your new building.

017 lagoon is nothing new, been that way since the move to new building, me thinks that was in '03 or there abouts
How much did the contractor donate to Burke or Madigan?

A veteran wouldn't be awake at midnight. LOL Also you are not a veteran when you have worked one or two years in a busy district. Look up the seniority list youngster most people there came on the job before you were born and have worked in busy districts. When you get the seniority you get to bid. ( that's only 25 more years or so kid! LOL
"Fowl water?" Break out the 12 gauge, ducks on the pond.
Sounds like the old 016th District on Gale St.
So city workers built it!
Another contractor hired by the city making us Chicago Proud. I think it should be named after Groot. How about the "Lightfoot Leaker" or Lori's Bidet.
Disgusting.
Par for the course.
009 had many similar type problems when it opened in 2008
Great to see these idiots learn from their mistakes.

I agree. Let the 10 year wonder desk dollies man the mops.
Of course they’d squeal to their clout that they might break a nail.
“Ohare should have all the 10 year wonder inside desk dollies handle it. Boy there are a couple winners that latched on to a couple big bosses that got them there”
Oh cmon guy, 10 year wonders? These wonder years keep getting longer, it was 2 year wonders, then 3, then I started seeing 4 and 5 year wonders. That seemed to hold for a little bit, and now 10 year wonders!? Jesus! Can someone tell me when the wonder years stop? Just a concerned 14 year wonder who doesn’t want to be a 15 year wonder.
In all seriousness, there should not be coppers with 10 years on at the airport. That spot should be for guys who did their time. Guys who (for whatever reason) do 20 years in a ghetto district and want to ride it out easy until the end, not a copper with 10 years who’s been clouted and never did an ounce of police work. Only 20+year wonders allowed at the airports.
Gee LL, get your sorry ass out there and find out why a sorry ass politically connected contractor could not do a decent job or maybe the building inspector was looking the other way? Kind makes you wonder or maybe since you hate the poleece, so much you dont care!
That's a Haz Mat incident.
No one should be inside that building without the full suit & mask.
It is unsafe.
Proud Union Workers ?
The building likely was built and leased far back as 1970 and probably never leaked a bit for the past private sector lessee until the hasty City rehabbed it for CPD since they couldn’t find a paying tenant. If it were Walsh, a good structure would have taken at least 7 years to build out and there’d be working sump pump.
Was the old building still being overrun with feral cats?
Thought y’all could escape the big city, huh.
Everyone deserves a little decrepitude.
I think it took 011 some 10 years to start leaking, same with 025. 001 took about 3 years and HQ about a year which includes the sinking foundation.
And what’s this bidness’ about woman’s only locker room?
Where’s the neutrality?
But don’t worry none, it’s on the Aviation Budget coming from O’Hare Modernization Fund for the new Terminal 5.
Keep on complaining.
I hear K-Five still has some abandoned storage trailers stashed somewhere on the backfield for the blue shirts to use.
You’ll get no sympathy here.

How about you have some respect for us. Clout or not. I’m at 050 and you’re just salty. Yup, other than the toilets this is great.

They could care less about our safety. The most unsecured station in the city. All the districts are unsecured even after the tragic death of Thore in 007. But they want us to be proactive? They aren’t even reactive when it comes to the safety of officers. They are fetal.
I’m thinking of Curley connecting the pipes all around him..
can we say pay to play contracts
I worked a wagon in 012 in 1995 during the heatwave. I still remember having to hose the gore out of the wagon every night for close to 2 months after. A bunch of privileged millennials with what is essentially an overblown toilet overflowing, gets no sympathy.
Not to mention shoddy oversight by the Project Management consultant and the DoA. Nobody on the owner/end user side is minding the store during these types of projects. I speak from personal experience as a former tax-eater (city employee).

hey 050 just nip it in the bud it is hell of alot better than either 011, or 007
The funny thing is 050 shares a building with the Plumbers.

Not this time. Bowa Construction.
Holy shit, breaking whisper. Bears looking to move to Arlington Park with retractable dome. Everything they need is already there and they are tired of shoddy field maintenance and Park Dist crap.
When they built 024 the minority contractor misspelled "Police" on the front stone.
Whats it take to get an airport now? 28 years?
They say 50/50 but i called the union once and asked them how they, or I, could check on that and make sure the Clout Cops weren't cheating. At least they were honest, they said they didn't know how, nor did they care to learn.
So enjoy the shit floating by. It could always be worse, as in 30 years of it.
Just call Roderick Sawyer, His company BOWA did all the work. City inspectors have no love for them. Always calling the hall when you show up on their jobs. Can't touch them.
To 1215 015 is the most unsecured lot. The hood has access to all are lots.
Rumor is it’s payback money for Plumbers Union support of Groot.
Another fine piece of shit construction by Kenny Construction
Over the years the airport gas earmarked ten if millions for a new facility. Each time plans were drawn, site earmarked, then the money disappears. Chicago at its best.

They have a more secure lot in 011 and one that is shared by the po’s and the people going to court
Hey AquaLung!
Cough! Cough! Cough!
I picked up a wheeze from the sewage at the new
police station. I'll be in Florida on disability.
Another fine Kenney Construction building?
Shit! I stepped in it!

Only for half of the officers transferring in. Might be something to add to FOP arbitration list

There are maybe (3) Millennials in 050 the rest have 20 plus years on, the majority have 26 plus.

I wasn't kidding.
Effective October 1st. O'Hare is a Finance Beat. PEA's will be cheicking every Lot and Parking area that ISN"T beind a FAA restriction Fence.
Arrivals.
Depatures
The Whole 9 Yards.
Park properly on the O'Hare Campus or get a ticket from Finance....because we don't care who you are.
Personally. Management didn't listen to me.
We had coppers in 050 who never, ever worked the street. Or at most did a year in 016. Many didn't even know how to fill out arrest reports on the computers.
One silly asshole wore more ribbons then George Patton, his resume included a few years in 016 and the rest in 050.
