Building management has stopped doing housekeeping of the building, which has led to Miralda Moreno, DDS, her family and the practice staff having to clean it themselves. 

All three of the elevators in the six-story building were shut down. Two were inoperable due to age, and the third was decommissioned for safety problems. 

Moreno Family Dentistry has operated in the building for more than 20 years. Several other businesses have already moved out of the building. 

The city recently deemed the building “unfit for human habitation.” A hearing on the building is scheduled for April 4, which could lead to an order to vacate, the report said.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
