West Humboldt Park residents seeking action after swastika displayed atop building

Activists with the West Humboldt Park Community Coalition neighborhood group said they have heard little in response from authorities about their fears at a news conference outside the office of Ald. Emma Mitts, 37th.“This is not safe,” said Farrah Walker, coalition secretary. “People are outraged. People are shocked. People are scared.”
In May 2022, Chicago police responded to a gunshot detection alert near the building where the scaffolding is up when a man on a roof on the same block pointed “an unknown object with a laser” in the direction of a police helicopter, the department said. The swastika has gone up and down since police responded to the home several weeks ago, according to several workers at nearby businesses who declined to give their names. Officers shut down several blocks along Chicago Avenue during the response, the workers said.
