Two dozen families are still homeless after a tornado tore through their west-suburban Woodridge community back on June 20, 2021, and nearly two years later, they still have no clear timeline for when they will be allowed to move back in.
Some of the Woodridge Country Club #5 owners blame their home-owners association and property manager for delaying major, structural repairs necessary for them to return home, while the HOA and property manager have pointed to their insurer as responsible for the delays.
Kirit Rangwala, another homeowner, told us it’s difficult to walk through the shell of his townhome he shared with his wife and 98-year-old mother. “Twenty four hours later, the tornado happened and my life became a nightmare,” Burisek said, now living with his mother in Texas while the repairs are underway. “Little did we know that we’d be sitting here almost two years later.”
From the start, MCPMC told homeowners in Oct. 2021 that the work was “extensive” including foundational work, indoor framing, and electrical repairs needed. That lien debt was not settled until April 7, 2022, when the liens were released, according to DuPage County records and SERVPRO. But the association hit another roadblock: MCPMC said the HOA’s insurer, Farmers Insurance, required a third-party to inspect the work. Those inspections took place in January, and it’s unclear if Farmers approved the full amount.
At that news conference, lawmakers also seemed to point the finger at the insurance approval process for the delays. Caprio continued, “The scope of work and funding for this reconstruction is significant and this is why it has taken so much time to get a resolution and approvals needed from the insurance carrier to start the re-construction efforts.”
