APPELLANT: Marvin Kane
DOCKET NO.: 04-25621.001-R-1
PARCEL NO.: 05-30-312-020-0000
The parties of record before the Property Tax Appeal Board are
Marvin Kane, the appellant, by attorney Herbert Rosenberg of
Schoenberg, Finkel, Newman & Rosenberg, Ltd., Chicago, and the
Cook County Board of Review.
The subject property consists of a 26-year-old, two-story style
single-family dwelling of frame and masonry construction
containing 2,620 square feet of living area and located in New
Trier Township, Cook County. The subject features two full
baths, one half-bath, a partial basement, air conditioning, a
fireplace and a two-car garage.
The appellant with counsel appeared before the Property Tax
Appeal Board claiming unequal treatment in the assessment process
as the basis of the appeal. In support of this argument, the
appellant offered a spreadsheet detailing four suggested
comparable properties located in the same coded assessment
neighborhood within 3/4 of a mile from the subject (comparables
one through four.) Two additional comparables located on the
same street as the subject were also submitted (comparables five
and six.) These six properties consist of two-story style
single-family dwellings of frame, masonry or frame and masonry
construction from 9 to 44 years old. The comparable dwellings
have features such as two or four full baths, air conditioning
and garages; in addition two have basements, two have half-baths
and four have fireplaces. The comparables range in size from
2,064 to 3,364 square feet of living area and have improvement
assessments ranging from $11.49 to $21.99 per square foot of
living area. Photographs and a copy of the subject's 2004 board
of review final decision were also included. Based on this
evidence, the appellant requested a reduction in the subject's
improvement assessment.
