PROPERTY TAX APPEAL BOARD'S DECISION
APPELLANT: Robert Allen or Evelyn Allen
DOCKET NO.: 04-20302.001-R-1
PARCEL NO.: 16-06-320-044
The individuals and/or parties of record appearing before the
Property Tax Appeal Board (hereinafter PTAB) are Robert
Allen/Evelyn Allen, the appellants; and the Cook County Board of
Review.
The subject property consists of a 12,529 square foot land parcel
improved with a 101-year old, two-story, masonry, multi-family
dwelling with two units. The improvement contains 4,168 square
feet of living area as well as a full basement and four
bathrooms.
At the hearing on the merits, the aforementioned individuals were
duly sworn. There was a procedural issue as to whether this
appeal was properly filed and whether the individual signing the
PTAB's appeal form had legal standing to bring forth such an
appeal.
In this matter, the identified appellants are Robert and Evelyn
Allen, but the appeal is signed by Evelyn Allen asserting to be
either attorney or appellant. The board of review's notes on
appeal reflect that Robert Allen is the sole owner. Moreover,
Evelyn Allen testified that she was not an attorney, but that she
was part of a team along with her son, Robert Allen. The PTAB
accorded Robert Allen a time period within which to submit legal
documentation that Evelyn Allen was indeed also the
owner/taxpayer of the property herein on appeal.
Robert Allen timely submitted a multiple-page "power of attorney"
document asserting the sufficiency of such for filing purposes
before the PTAB.
