Aldermen today balked at a proposed ordinance that would have allowed the city to fine landlords up to $2,000 a day for failing to take steps to eradicate bedbugs, after building owners said the measure placed too much burden on them and not enough on tenants.

Meeting will be held at Loyola University Chicago's Information Commons from 6:30-8:30 PM.

If you are interested in acquiring small-scale distressed properties, Lee Kiser, principal of Kiser Group, has this to say: “Welcome to the club. Everyone wants these types of assets nowadays.”

Kiser Group has been retained to sell several apartment buildings in Chicago, including a 206-unit, four-building portfolio in the South Shore neighborhood and a five-unit three-flat in Wrigleyville.
