Lincolnwood files complaint against Purple Hotel

(Crain’s) — Lincolnwood wants the Purple Hotel, a well-known north suburban property that has fallen on hard times, to correct what it calls “dangerous and hazardous conditions.”

The village cites such things as a leaky roof, a moldy heating duct and rodent droppings and an insect infestation in the kitchen in a court complaint.

The filing comes after workers from Lincolnwood’s building department found what it believes to be a host of violations of building, property maintenance and fire codes during three inspections late last month. The complaint says “dangerous and hazardous conditions exist” at the hotel “which, if the hotel is not shut down immediately, create an imminent danger to property and life, jeopardizing the public health, safety and welfare of the persons and property within and adjacent to (the hotel), unless and until such time as the numerous code violations are remediated to the satisfaction of the village’s inspectors,” according to the complaint, filed Sept. 29 in Cook County Circuit Court.

Over the years, the 239-room hotel at 4500 W. Touhy Ave. has been affiliated with franchises such as Hyatt, Radisson and Ramada before deciding to go it alone in 2004.
