Looks like HGTV got into hot water with Chicago's Dept of Buildings

This might cause the show to shut down entirely
Sounds like the show will go on with a new contractor, which seemed to me to be the simple answer.

Embattled ‘Windy City Rehab’ star to work with new general contractor — raising questions about Chicago co-host’s future

Star Alison Victoria didn’t respond to messages enquiring about the future of her quirky co-host, Donovan Eckhardt, who functioned as general contractor in the show’s first season

In her efforts to get back in the good graces of the city after a number of violations and complaints, the star of the hit TV show “Windy City Rehab” announced the show will go on, but she’ll be working with a new general contractor ….


Victoria posted a message to her thousands of followers on Instagram.

“I want you to hear it from me directly that I am working closely with the City of Chicago to repair and amend any and all permits with our new general contractors,” she wrote. “The building department says they are pleased with our efforts and we will continue to work closely together.”






HGTV says the show is one of its most popular new series, claiming 9.3 million viewers in its first month and a half on the air.
