Chicago inspectors find code violations at R Kelly's studio

Chicago — Chicago building inspectors have found code violations at R Kelly's recording studio, including evidence the industrial space was used as a residence.

Building Department spokesperson Gregg Cunningham says the agency will list the violations during a court hearing next week. He says the inspectors were looking at plumbing, electrical systems and carpentry.

Kelly's attorney, Steve Greenburg, says no one was living at the studio and it should not be surprising that it included places for sleeping or taking breaks.

Kelly has been hit in recent weeks with sexual misconduct allegations. The Lifetime documentary series Surviving R Kelly recently drew fresh attention to the allegations and the #MeToo and #MuteRKelly movements have held protests outside the studio demanding promoters stop booking his concerts.

Greenburg says the inspectors didn't find anything supporting misconduct by Kelly.
