PROPERTY TAX APPEAL BOARD'S DECISION
APPELLANT: Warren Klinke
DOCKET NO.: 06-22504.001-R-1
PARCEL NO.: 15-33-323-011-0000
The parties of record before the Property Tax Appeal Board are
Warren Klinke, the appellant, by attorney Rusty Payton of Rusty
A. Payton, P.C., in Chicago, and the Cook County Board of Review.
The subject property is a 117-year old, one and one-half-story
style dwelling of frame construction containing 1,994 square feet
of living area with a full unfinished basement.
The appellant's appeal is based on unequal treatment in the
assessment process. The appellant submitted three comparable
properties described as one-story or one and one-half-story frame
or frame and masonry dwellings that are 51 to 102 years old for
consideration. Two comparables have partially finished or
unfinished basements, while one has no basement. The comparables
contain 1,028 to 1,350 square feet of living area and have
improvement assessments of $16.36 to $20.14 per square foot. The
appellant's petition claims the subject contains 1,116 square
feet of living area. The appellant submitted no evidence to
support this claim. The appellant contends the subject's
improvement assessment is $22.94 per square foot, based on the
claim of 1,116 square feet of living area. 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.
The board of review also submitted property characteristic sheets
for the subject and three comparable properties. The subject's
property characteristic sheet indicates the subject contains
1,994 square feet of living area. The board of review presented
three comparable properties consisting of one and one-half-story
frame dwellings that are 97 or 104 years old. These properties
