APPELLANT: Timothy Burke
DOCKET NO.: 04-23604.001-R-1
PARCEL NO.: 04-17-113-005-0000
The parties of record before the Property Tax Appeal Board are
Timothy Burke, the appellant, by attorney Rusty A. Payton of the
Law Offices of Rusty A. Payton, P.C., Chicago, Illinois; and the
Cook County Board of Review.
The subject property consists of a 37-year old, two-story
dwelling of frame construction containing 3,020 square feet of
living area with a partial, unfinished basement, a fireplace, and
a two car garage.
The appellant submitted evidence before the Property Tax Appeal
Board claiming unequal treatment in the assessment process as the
basis of the appeal. In support of the equity argument, the
appellant submitted a grid analysis detailing four suggested
comparable properties. The appellant's map indicates the
comparables are located one-half to three and one-quarter miles
from the subject. The comparables are two-story frame dwellings
that are 1 to 41 years old with fireplaces. One comparable has a
full basement and three comparables have partial basements. Two
comparables have central air conditioning. Their living areas
are from 2,643 to 3,700 square feet in size, and have improvement
assessments of $8.56 to $13.34 per square foot. The subject
property has an improvement assessment of $15.68 per square foot.
Based on this evidence, the appellant requested a reduction in
the subject's improvement assessment.
The board of review submitted its "Board of Review Notes on
Appeal" wherein the subject's final assessment was disclosed. In
support of the subject's assessment, the board of review offered
the property characteristic sheets and a spreadsheet detailing
four suggested comparable properties that are located on the same
block or one to two blocks from the subject. The comparable
