PROPERTY TAX APPEAL BOARD'S DECISION
APPELLANT: Mark & Diane Weiner
DOCKET NO.: 03-20109.001-R-1
PARCEL NO.: 16-31-102-035-0000
The parties of record before the Property Tax Appeal Board (PTAB)
are Mark & Diane Weiner, the appellants; and the Cook County
Board of Review (board).
The subject property consists of 5,600 square foot parcel
improved with a ten-year old, two-story, masonry, single-family
owner-occupied dwelling. Features of the home include a
fireplace, basement, central air conditioning and a two-car
garage.
The appellant, Mark Weiner, appeared before the Property Tax
Appeal Board contending assessment inequity as the basis of the
appeal. In support of this argument the appellants submitted
data, descriptions, and color photographs of four suggested
comparables located within a block of the subject. Comparable
two includes an undisclosed Home Improvement Exemption. These
properties range in land size from 6,900 to 9,660 square feet and
in land assessments from $5,979 to $8,371. As to the
improvements, these properties include two-story, masonry or
frame and masonry, single-family dwellings. They range: in age
from 64 to 124 years; in baths one or two, with some half baths;
and in size from 2,208 to 2,708 square feet of living area. The
comparables include full basements, one finished, fireplaces and
one or two-car garages. The improvement assessments range from
$17,730 to $20,326 or from $7.05 to $8.07 per square foot.
At the hearing, the appellant, Mark Weiner, also testified that
the square footage of the subject's improvement had not been
altered since the rendering of the PTAB's 2001 decision which
reflected a finding of 2,010 square feet. In contrast, the board
of review argued that the subject contained 2,210 square feet.
