'Parade Of Middle-Aged Men' At Burr Ridge Home

BURR RIDGE, IL – A Burr Ridge resident says she is concerned about a house made up of middle-aged men across the street.

At this week's Village Board meeting, Jen McConahy, who lives in the 600 block of Camelot Drive, said she realized the house was unusual after her family moved in two years ago.

Earlier in the meeting, the board approved a new rule limiting the number of unrelated people living in a house to two. McConahy advocated for it.

In her comments, McConahy described the house on Camelot as "really troublesome" and "very shabby." She said cars are coming and going constantly, with a "parade of middle-aged men."

For a time, she said a sex offender lived in the house, but later moved out. At one point, she said, an estimated 10 men lived there.

"My neighbors and I have called the police constantly over bizarre behavior, paintball shooting, illegally parked cars," McConahy said. "Just two weeks ago at this home, they painted male genitalia on the skylights that I could see from my driveway."

The owner lives elsewhere and rents out rooms in the house, she said.

She said she wanted the village to make it undesirable for the owner to do business in town.

"This home is a cash machine for him," McConahy said. "Right now, my neighborhood feels very frustrated and very hopeless about this situation."
