FIRE OR CRIME should be immediately reported by telephoning 911.
- A burst pipe that is causing water damage
- A furnace that has gone out in freezing temperatures
- Storm damage
- Electrical outlets that are smoking and or sparking
For weekends, holidays or after hours only when one of the four items above happen
telephone 217 – 649 – 6301. Do not use this number for any other purpose other than one of the four items listed above.
FIRE OR CRIME should be immediately reported by telephoning 911.

This is a copy of the Illinois statute governing security deposits. Please note it is specifically for buildings with five or more units. This applies to our multi-family properties but not to our single family homes.
There actually is no Illinois statue governing security deposits and single family homes. Traditionally we do generally follow the outline of the state statue regarding deposits for our single family homes also. Items typically deducted from the security deposit are damages, cleaning, late fees, bounced check fees and other items that may have been accrued by
the tenant.
The federal government requires all landlords to provide this pamphlet to renters of properties built before 1978.
The Hickory Street Apartments was completely stripped back to the original masonry and rebuilt new. For our residential homes and duplexes we have no reports that on file is present. The vast majority of our single family homes have been substantially remodeled and in the process most, if not all, original surfaces were covered and sealed.
