The Garfield Park building where a porch collapse killed 1 and seriously injured 2 more will be demolished, the Chicago Department of Buildings said.
CHICAGO -- The West Side building where a porch collapsed earlier this week - killing one man and injuring two others - must be demolished because it's not structurally sound, city officials announced Thursday.
"What we learned is that a sister and a brother who were living in the family home had fallen on hard times and were not able to keep up the upkeep of their property," the mayor said. "If you know somebody on your block that owns their home and has some challenges with keeping up the maintenance, please reach out to me or someone on my team because there are resources available. We've got to keep Black folks in their homes," Lightfoot said.
