Harvey apartments were boarded up amid concerns over unfit living conditions and ongoing crime. Some residents say they were home when the work began, and are now fighting for a place to stay.

This is a weird situation and I have some insight as a Chicago resident. But I'm definitely not a lawyer, so take with a grain of salt. The way I understand it, is that under normal circumstances this situation is highly illegal as notice is required far in advance for residents to vacate the property. But under very specific emergency circumstances where the owner must vacate everyone on the property for safety, no notice is required but they have to pay to temporarily house the residents. So it doesn't matter which situation is taking place, the owner is in the wrong.

According to some of the residents on TikTok, none of them received the notifications that supposedly went out in October.

There are very well written rules in the landlord-tenant ordinance about how to submit notice and it works both ways. So if no one received notice, then they didn't do it per Chicago landlord-tenant ordinance. I found this out when I was researching how to submit to my landlord for repairs so that I could legally deduct from the rent. It's all spelled out for everyone in that handy document and it's the same for all of Chicago.
