Owners say they're waiting on the condo management to make crucial repairs to common walls and other areas before they can fix the interiors.

There are no walls in several of the north suburban Prospect Heights condo units; you can even see into neighboring units.

"There's no sense of urgency from the board. They need to do their job. It's just a shame that we pay association fees," said Vazquez.While no one was hurt in the August 2022 fire, families in more than 30 units were displaced, and many lost all their belongings. There is significant smoke and water damage. Sixteen units are still uninhabitable.

"Most homeowners do have homeowners' insurance they do have a certain budget. So, the budget for my parents was $2,500, and they used all of it within, like, three months, because the hotel wasn't cheap. They had to use two rooms, and I'm sure most of the residents had to go through the same thing," Vazquez told Knowles.

The I-Team contacted the Willow Heights Condominium Board members and the president by email, phone and text. No one returned their calls or messages. The director of buildings added that Willow Heights Condo Board kept changing contractors and terminated its relationship with the property manager, causing more delays despite the fact that a demo permit was issued in May.
