Homeowners in Chicago’s downtown and upscale neighborhoods no longer feel safe in the city and are pondering moving out, a leader of a major Chicago real estate management firm says.

“The homeowners we represent do not feel safe,” said Steven Levy, president of Sudler, a firm that counts more than 100 condominium associations among its clients, including in lakeshore neighborhoods of Hyde Park, Gold Coast, and Edgewater. He spoke on behalf of over 22,000 homeowners and some 38,000 residents in an Aug. 12 letter to Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
