State Rep. Michael Smith D-Pekin introduced House Bill 214 to amend the state’s Residential Real Property Disclosure Act to include the methamphetamine disclosure. The law was passed and is now in effect, requiring all Illinois property owners to provide the new property disclosure form.

Illinois law already requires disclosure of material defects ranging from walls, floors, structural problems, lead paint, radon and asbestos. Because the residue of meth labs could contain life threatening chemicals, state legislators felt the need for the meth disclosure.

The new language in the property disclosure reads as follows:

23. I am/am not (check one) aware that this property has been used for the manufacture of methamphetamine as defined in Section 10 of the Methamphetamine Control Community Protection Act.

“The manufacture of meth in a home creates build up of toxicity in the home that leads to long term adverse health consequences for the inhabitants,” according to the site, Methlabhomes.com

The combined company will operate as Prudential Rubloff Properties, an independently owned and operated firm with 17 offices and nearly 900 sales professionals and staff.   Realtors at the Evanston Prudential office will relocate to the  Evanston Rubloff office,  located in Sherman Plaza – 1620 Sherman, Suite A.

Prudential Rubloff has a formidable presence in Chicago’s high-end markets of Cook and Lake counties, and in Michigan’s exclusive Harbor Country. The two firms closed more than $2 billion in real estate sales in 2008; both outpace any major brokerage in Cook and Lake counties for highest average list and sales price.

The merger bonds two of Chicago’s most respected firms whose distinguished roots trace back nearly 80 years. Principals Chris Eigel and Michael Pierson, longtime veterans of Chicagoland real estate, will lead the new company as chief executive officer and president/chairman. Rubloff principals Howard Weinstein and Tom Horwich complete the Prudential Rubloff leadership team and will continue with the firm focusing on future growth in the metropolitan market.

“Rubloff is a revered Chicagoland company – part of Chicago’s cultural fabric for philanthropy, civic development and distinguished real estate services,” said Pierson. “Of course, Prudential is recognized globally for strength, integrity and innovation since 1875.”

Weinstein, who with Horwich, acquired Rubloff Residential Properties in 1996, said the company’s strong, local ownership will respond quickly to Chicagoland market opportunities and challenges. “Both firms have similar business philosophies, market segments and corporate cultures, making the union an ideal fit,” he explained. “Rubloff’s nearly 80 year history of excellence continues, as the firm expands onto Chicago’s coveted North Shore to fulfill one of founder Arthur Rubloff’s dreams.”

Added Horwich: “Prudential Rubloff changes the landscape of Chicagoland real estate. “The company is now a powerhouse of agent and client services that establishes a new level of service throughout Chicagoland.”

As real estate technology leaders, the merging companies bring to the union a full array of online resources and proprietary lead-generation tools. Both companies are known for their technology and marketing innovation. Prudential Rubloff will use the award-winning Rubloff.com website, integrating technology and online tools from both organizations.

“Together the two firms will boast Chicagoland’s finest team of sales professionals and managers,” said Eigel. “When other real estate companies are cutting back, Prudential Rubloff is doubling efforts.”

Earl Lee, president of Prudential Real Estate and Relocation Services, added: “Two fine organizations join forces and instantly jump to the forefront of Chicagoland real estate,” he said. “We are ecstatic to broaden our brand in these key markets as Prudential Rubloff.”

According to the report, Thomas Roszak “said he has assets of $1 million to $10 million and liabilities of $50 million to $100 million,” and that seven companies he co-owns filed for Chapter 7 petitions.

Sienna, a four-phase 120-unit development, only completed two phases.  Roszak had filed a request with the city last year to build a hotel and rentals for the final two phases. That request was never pursued.

Afterward, Roszak placed the two remaining lots – 1760 and 1780 Oak –  on the open market for $9,500,000. The property was taken off the market May 31, 2009.

Meanwhile, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan has filed suit against Roszak for failing to comply with accessibility laws in the design and construction of the Sienna condos, according to an article in Evanston Now. 

The lawsuit claims Roszak targeted potential buyers with disabilities, promising them easy access to the condos.  But the route with easy access for people with disabilities was not finished, the lawsuit alleges.

In May 2007, a 20-foot by 70-foot section of a garage roof collapsed at the site of the Sienna development. No one was injured.

Circuit Court Judge Kathleen M. Pantle  approved the transfer of ownership from Northwestern University to The Evanston History Center today.  Last year, Northwestern, citing fire hazards in the historic Dawes home, closed the history center, which has since reopened after repairs had been made.

The transfer of ownership includes funds from the Dawes Endowment, which Dawes established to care for the home and the collection stored there.  The university will continue to care for the records its holds that pertain to Dawes’ family and personal history as WWI Brigadier General and Vice President of the United States.

“We couldn’t be more pleased and excited about the way things have worked out,”  Marge Wold, president of the board of the Evanston History Center, said in a press release.  “This is truly an exciting time for EHC as we grow and change to take on the new responsibility of ownership of the Dawes House and develop new programs for an expanded role in our community. We thank the community for its support and say ‘stay tuned’ for all that is to come from EHC.”

The EHC research room re-opened in February 2009 and the house opened for tours in May 2009.  Currently the house is open for tours Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 1-4 pm.  The EHC research room is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday from 1-4 pm.  For more information about all the EHC offers see its website: www.evanstonhistorycenter.org or call (847) 475-3410.
