I can't suddenly keep a chicken house or a dairy in an urban neighborhood. He was running a homeless shelter that was unsafe. Feelgooders don't like this but it is not zoned for that and in addition unsafe for the homeless in case of a fire. What about neighbors who do not wish to attract thieves to their neighborhood? The homeless have plenty of other places to go.
he wasn't running a shelter. He was sheltering humans. I get it that some won't see the difference, but there IS a difference.
If he had taken in his sick mother in law, and the mother in law had to sleep in the basement, do you think the city would've known, or cared?
If he had taken in his newly divorced daughter and grandchild, and the only place for them to sleep was the basement, do you think the city would've cared?

I really would love to see this man get a lawyer.
What is a lawyer going to do? He needs to get his house up the code for keeping people secured properly. If he housed them and all of the sudden there was a fire and they couldn't escape people would be complaining that his house was not properly secured.

And yet the odds of that happening are vastly lower than the odds of them freezing to death outside in the dead of Chicago winter.

yeah, that would be a consideration if he was running a BUSINESS. But such is not the case.
He invited people into his HOME and didn't charge any of them any money.
And I would believe a constitutional lawyer would try to make the case that the man has a right to peaceful assembly, meaning he can have people in his home.
I see no problem with him having whomever he'd like in his home. I do see an issue with having a permanent Port-a-Potty on the lawn. Typically having one is temporary for construction and requires a permit.
And, why did he even have the Port-a-Potty? When I invite guests to my home, I let them use my bathrooms. Why didn't he just do that?
