Ken Komperdas says he jumped at a chance to rent the basement of this home at 4 W. Bailey Road in Naperville for $1,000 a month, not realizing his landlord was operating an illegal boarding house.
Retired attorney Terry Gaca entered a guilty plea last week admitting he continued to operate a boarding house in violation of city code and filed false sworn statements in the case.
After years of legal battles between the city of Naperville and a property owner accused of operating an illegal boarding house, one neighbor quit his law firm job to pursue a case.
