Residents from three South Side buildings are banding together to seek a meeting with their landlord after months of threats and worsening conditions.

Chatham residents living in 219 E. 79th St., 7908 S. Prairie Ave., and 319 E. 79th St., formed a tenants group last spring after their landlord stopped answering their calls, said Carlos Banks, one of the residents.
