MacArthur Park Apartments Update

MacArthur Boulevard Business Association – Government Update August 11, 2011

Joe McMenamin, Alderman, Ward 7

After the City was denied access to inspect the apartment complex on July 18, the City obtained a search warrant, performed a coordinated inspection that found a host of violations, including serious health hazards, in uninhabited buildings of the complex. Those buildings were declared uninhabitable, and City of Springfield Corporation Council will provide notice of violation to the owners of the property.  Read the August 5 SJ-R article… If the problems are not corrected, then daily fines will be levied.  Photos of the property are below.
