That\u2019s when he had the idea to move them to his basement \u2013 complete with all the activities needed to consider them simply \u201cslumber parties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\" data-pnum=\"6\">Schiller believed city code allowed for slumber parties, but officials said there are &#8220;sleeping regulations&#8221; for basements and Schiller&#8217;s basement doesn&#8217;t meet those requirements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\" data-pnum=\"7\">&#8220;While we appreciate those who volunteer to provide additional resources in the community, Mr. Schiller\u2019s house does not comply with codes and regulations that guard against potential dangers such as carbon monoxide poisoning, inadequate light and ventilation, and insufficient exits in the event of a fire,&#8221; city spokesperson Molly Center said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\" data-pnum=\"8\">Schiller said city officials and police officers came to his home with a warrant Tuesday and went into his basement. There, he said they found his ceiling height too low and windows too high and too small to be an egress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\" data-pnum=\"9\">\u201cThey shut me down and said I have 24 hours to return my basement to storage and take down &#8211; I have several cots with sleeping bags for everybody \u2013 or they\u2019ll condemn the house.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\" data-pnum=\"10\">Center confirmed that Schiller was given 24 hours to clear the basement in an emailed statement, adding, &#8220;If not, the City will take additional enforcement action to compel the removal of the unlawful basement sleeping area.<span style=\"font-size: 10px; letter-spacing: 0.1em; text-transform: uppercase;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"embeddedWrapper\">\n<div class=\"embedded vertical \" data-cid=\"287977901\" data-permloc=\"\/\/www.nbcchicago.com\/weather\/stories\/Extreme-Weather-287977901.html\" data-galleyindex=\"0\" data-title=\"Extreme Weather: Snow in the Deep South\">\n<div class=\"galleryMask\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nbcchicago.com\/images\/620*413\/AP_17343006910881.jpg\" alt=\"[NATL] Extreme Weather Photos\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"icon gallery\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"credit\">AP Photo\/Rogelio V.

A full list can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/elgin.app.box.com\/s\/c8np6izmzpoh7jmupofth3iz5jns93pw\">on the city&#8217;s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\" data-pnum=\"22\">Temperatures Tuesday in Elgin were forecast to reach a high of only 6 degrees, meaning area shelters should open. They aren&#8217;t expected to warm above the threshold again until this weekend, when they could rise back into the upper-20s. It&#8217;s not clear if shelters plan to remain open.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\" data-pnum=\"23\">Schiller said that while he does plan to stop hosting his slumber parties, he\u2019s working to find other options for taking care of the homeless he now knows so well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\" data-pnum=\"24\">\u201cSomebody\u2019s going to die,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"articleAutoFooter\">\n<div class=\"footerCirculationMod\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Elgin, Ill.
