Residents of a south suburban hotel, some of whom have lived there for years, got a reprieve Wednesday afternoon after the property passed a follow-up inspection concerning fire code violations, according to the village.
Issues pertaining to fire alarms and smoke detectors on the second and third floors of the building had been addressed and the property passed the new inspection, according to Sean Howard, a village spokesman. “I don’t have a vehicle. I don’t have money. I don’t have anywhere to go,” she said. “I don’t even have a box to start packing my stuff.”
