Ald. Matt O'Shea, 19th, greets a resident after a rally and protest in the courtyard of an apartment building in the 10300 block of South Walden Parkway on July 19, 2023, in Chicago. O’Shea Neighbors United is also demanding good-faith negotiations — carried out in a group — between Levav and those tenants who want to stay. This includes assurance of “reasonable” rent hikes.
Whitehead was among a handful of residents who Levav had planned to evict on August 1. She said she doesn’t want her daughter, now a college graduate, to be forced to look elsewhere for safe harbor.

Byron Sigcho-Lopez, 25th, addresses residents and housing advocates during a rally and protest in the courtyard of an apartment building in the 10300 block of South Walden Parkway on July 19, 2023, in Chicago.
