CHICAGO Curtis Cooper, 3, died while riding a tricycle in June outside a Cabrini Green rowhouse project. A seven-foot-high iron gate became unhinged, fell, and crushed him.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said it found during three inspections that the gates were dangerous.

The CHA says a property management firm didn't repair the gates. It suspended the firm after the accident.
