PARCEL NO.: 17-10-221-054
TOWNSHIP: North Chicago
The parties of record before the Property Tax Appeal Board (hereinafter PTAB) are Michalina Rodek, the appellant, by Attorney David C. Dunkin with the law firm of Arnstein & Lehr LLP in Chicago; and the Cook County Board of Review.
The subject property consists of a 1,130 square foot parcel of land containing a 10-year old, three-story, masonry, townhouse. This improvement contains 1,965 square feet of living area, three bathrooms and a one and one-half car garage.
