The city of La Salle has completed its inspections at two CL Real Estate Development properties on Wednesday morning, Building Inspector Dennis Hocking said in an email.

The former Kaskaskia Hotel and Maytag building was toured Wednesday by Hocking, Special Counsel Sheryl Churney, City Engineer Brian Brown, Fire Chief Jerry Janick and representatives from CL Real Estate.

“CL Real Estate fully cooperated with the inspections of both properties,” Hocking said in the email. “City representatives gathered data and will be preparing reports for the City Council.”

Hockings didn’t say when the reports would be presented to council- just that it would be done in a timely manner.

Shaw Local contacted CL Real Estate Development for comment on the inspection and has not received a response as of late Wednesday afternoon.

La Salle inspected the buildings in the summer of 2022.
