That would be an improvement on the Chicago Housing Authority!
Each morning a PAID crew would pick up the overnight trash, that was thrown from the windows overnight.
At Taylor holmes, they had a unique design, the elevators are on the exterior of the building, not the central core, where it is nice and warm and DRY.
In addition to the ‘residents’ playing on the top of the car, while running, wind driven rain would find it’s way into the elevator controls. They were often out of service.
When living on the upper floors this meant the stairs, typically (depends on the building) full of trash and used diapers.
If you had seniority you could wait for a vacancy on a low floor, or if you knew of an opening; set your unit on fire!
From the Dan Ryan expressway the burn and smoke marks was visible on most of the upper units.
I worked there in the early 1980’s. Taylor, Cabrini, Wells...
