The city of Chicago is suing the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture and the Chicago Park District over an unsanctioned expansion project in Humboldt Park. The museum began constructing an archives and storage facility without proper permits, violating city code. The city is seeking fines and the appointment of a receiver to oversee the property if the situation is not rectified. Neighbors and preservationists have raised concerns about the project, calling for the structure to be torn down and moved away from the historic building. A trial date is set for September 7th.
