5/27/2025  Five Historic Chicago Condos for Sale - Chicago Magazine
Sometimes I feel like it’s becoming harder to find a classic apartment layout in Chicago; a property that has not been remodeled into an open-concept design that’s stripped of all character. If you’ve lived in Chicago long enough, then you’re probably familiar with the traditional Chicago flat layout: a living room with large windows in the front, dining room in the middle, kitchen at the rear, and bedrooms off to the side. Of course, they’re not all exactly alike, but there is definitely a distinction between rooms. After looking at enough real estate listings, the new or remodeled homes all begin to look the same (the trend of making everything gray certainly doesn’t help). But many homeowners prefer charm over a characterless box, and historic buildings offer details that you cannot find in today’s new construction. These properties often have original hardwood floors, custom built-ins, decorative moldings, and other great vintage details. Here are five lovely condos for sale, located in either prewar apartments or flats, that all maintain their original footprints.

5/12/2025  Condo Adviser: Community associations must enforce rules and regulations uniformly - Chicago Tribune
Q. I live in a residential development governed by a homeowners association. I have been cited by the association for allegedly parking a prohibited vehicle in my driveway per the association’s rules and regulations. Setting aside whether the vehicle in question is in fact prohibited, there are several other similar vehicles regularly parked on my neighbor’s driveways, and it is my understanding that none have been cited for a rules violation. Is it against the law for the association to selectively enforce rules and regulations?

4/10/2025  Condo Adviser: Condo boards may discuss business outside of meetings only in certain cases - Chicago Tribune
Q. I am a unit owner in a condominium association and have read that Illinois case law prohibits the board of directors from email or text discussions of board business outside of a board meeting because unit owners would not be privy to those discussions. When I raised this issue with my condominium board, the response was that email and text communications are allowed pursuant to the Condominium Act. In fact, a review of the board meeting minutes shows that in between meetings, the board regularly votes via email on various issues and then ratifies the decisions. Is this allowed?
