There’s a sinkhole in Lincoln Park that could swallow your car whole

A sinkhole formed in October and the city has yet to do anything about it. An “eyesore” and “ridiculous” are ways that residents have described it, and their descriptions are entirely too accurate.

Almost three months ago, a car almost fell into the hole. The hole has brought on an invasion of raccoons and a fear that the ground could collapse under the community at any moment.

The Department of Buildings came by the lot in October. The property owner was ordered to fix the hole, but they didn’t. Now, the city’s Law Department is taking the property owner to court.
