Stop by Alderman Reilly’s Office in City Hall, Room 200 at 121 N. LaSalle Street for a free smoke detector! Smoke detectors can be picked up from the 42nd Ward Office between 9am – 4pm, Monday through Friday. To coordinate picking up a smoke alarm, please call (312) 744-3062 or send a note via email (office@ward42chicago.com).
Most fires occur at night when people are sleeping. A smoke detector can alert you when there is a fire, in time to save your life. Below are some tips to ensure your smoke detector is properly installed and working correctly:
• Routinely test your detector correctly
• When a smoke detector sounds, get outside and call 911
• Install smoke detectors within 15 feet of any sleeping room and every level of your house
• Replace your smoke detector every 10 years. Write the installation date on the unit
• Don’t forget to install Carbon Monoxide detectors on every floor as well
• Any questions on smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors, call the Chicago Fire Department Public Education Division at (312) 747-6691
A special thank you to the Chicago Fire Department for the smoke detectors.

With snow expected soon, we would like to remind all residents of the winter weather parking restrictions that run from December 1 – April 1, 3am – 7am daily. If you see a posted sign that says “No Parking” between 3am and 7am, that means that the winter overnight parking ban is in effect on this street, whether snow is present or not. Violating vehicles could be ticketed or towed. More information on these “No Parking” signs can be found HERE.
Separately, the city also posts signage for designated “Snow Routes.” At the curb lane where this signage is posted, parking is only prohibited when over 2” of snow is present.
Visit the City of Chicago’s winter snow parking restrictions page to learn more. Chicagoans can visit chicagoshovels.org for a live snowplow tracker and other information.

We encourage all residents to participate in their CAPS Beat Meeting. This is an opportunity for you to engage with your Beat Officers.
What is CAPS? CAPS stands for Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy. CAPS is a partnership between police and community that is the foundation of community policing. CAPS uses Beats to develop relationships between the community and the police.
CAPS meetings offer city residents an opportunity to address crime and safety issues directly with the beat officers who patrol their neighborhood, as well as to provide ongoing feedback, which help the police to monitor crime issues. The beat meeting is a chance to meet your neighbors and come up with strategies that affect the community.
