SHORT-TERM RENTAL “HOTEL HOMES” ARE BANNED FROM THE 41ST WARD
🚫Since Chicago first allowed short-term rentals, our office has regularly heard from residents with concerns about their impact on our neighborhoods. Complaints have included excessive overnight noise, large parties, disruptive behavior, illegal activity, large amounts of garbage left around the area, and parking problems. Too often, these properties have become weekend party destinations at the expense of surrounding families.
🤜 I have fought for years to give residents a stronger voice in whether these businesses belong on their blocks. Working with my City Council colleagues, we have taken a major step toward putting those decisions back in the hands of residents and the ward office.
💪 NOW!, All 41st Ward precincts are blocked from allowing new short-term rental “hotel homes” unless the community agrees to allow them. As existing licenses are surrendered or expire, or as operations close, replacement operations will require community approval.
😡In the past, they just needed to obtain a license through the city of Chicago.
❤️ This issue is personal to me.
Before I am an alderman, I am your neighbor. I have lived in the 41st Ward for more than 51 years. This is where I chose to raise my family, where my neighbors raised theirs, and where the next generation deserves the same opportunity.
👊 I promised to protect the character, safety, and quality of life of our neighborhoods. Our residential streets are home to families, neighbors, and parishes, and their future should be shaped by the people who live here.
❤️ I intend to keep that promise today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.
👊 Protect our neighborhoods. Preserve our community. Always put residents first.
Sincerely,
Anthony Napolitano
41st Ward Alderman
