Re: 1342 W Morse, Chicago 60626

Dear Mr. Rider,

I am a resident of Rogers Park. I am writing today to alert you to a problem that the residents of this neighborhood are experiencing due to the above referenced building. We understand that Realty & Mortgage Co. is involved in the management of this building; therefore I am appealing to you directly to help correct a problem that is causing the residents of this community distress. If we are mistaken about the relationship between Realty & Mortgage Co. and 1342 W Morse, please accept my apologies and disregard this letter.

A resident at 1342 W. Morse is displaying a poster sized erotic photograph of a naked woman posing with a gun in her hand. This image is posted in the window of one of the apartments facing outward toward Morse Avenue. As you may know, this building is adjacent to the Morse El. There are two public schools close by, an elementary school and a high school both at Morse and Clark – many children and their parents pass this building each day on their way to and from school. In addition to the schools, at least 3 churches are also close by.

I am sure that the leases you offer tenants in this building must contain rules and regulations designed to prevent these kinds of problems from occurring. And I am equally sure that you can appreciate that this kind of “quality of life” problem is an additional source of stress to residents who are already stressed by the more serious problems that continue to plague Morse Avenue

I would be very grateful if you would personally see to it that this offensive material is removed immediately from view in the public way. I plan to share this letter with my neighbors via electronic media, and I would also be delighted to share your response assuring me that this problem is being dealt with. Thank you in advance for this gesture of goodwill towards the residents of Rogers Park.

Respectfully yours,

Rebecca Rouilly
