The owner of the MacArthur Park apartment complex has agreed to pay tens of thousands of dollars in fines… and to move quickly to complete repairs on the property or face additional fines.
Alderman Joe McMenamin announced the settlement Wednesday live on 970 WMAY’s “Ray Lytle Show.” Granite Investment Company and owner James Green have paid a $13,000 fine assessed earlier this year… and will pay an additional $57,000 to the city to settle the complaint.
And repairs to the complex must be completed by next spring, or more fines are possible.
The city has been working for months to correct problems at MacArthur Park, from rundown buildings to squatters to a high crime rate.
