The Sneider Apartments house seniors and people with disabilities.
Sunday morning a woman whose grandmother lives there called the conditions"deplorable."
"There's been many complaints well over 90 degrees in the units in the daytime, especially when the sun's really high and peaking through the apartments," said Rhondisha Harris."There's no proper ventilation as well in the apartments. There's no exhaust fans in the bathrooms, so when you take a shower you have to be very careful not to make the water too hot or you will pass out.
The building is owned by the Hispanic Housing Development Corporation, which released this statement Sunday evening: "We are deeply saddened by the deaths of three residents at 7450 N. Rogers. The safety and security of our residents has always been our highest priority at HHDC. We are working with the city of Chicago and conducting our own investigation into the incident."
Saturday night Mayor Lori Lightfoot sent out a statement on the deaths, writing in part,"A unit-by-unit well-being check is in progress by the Chicago Fire Department and city representatives are monitoring building management is switching over the air conditioning for the building."

Maria Hadden said. 'I'm not sure where we're going with that. But we all know climate change is here. It gets hotter sooner. The weather's less predictable and these management companies are going to have to use their common sense to put the life and health of their residents first.'
