Headroom its likely it may not be that difficult but we will hear in the appellant shortly its not a separate unit only another room within the building the house with the kitchen so well hear from the appellant but thats the part that is city of chicago in my brain its giving me well, lets hear from the appellant through the chair. So the original complaint you dont know where it came from. Im assuming a neighbor. A neighbor and there been any other complaints since this one. No. Deputy just as a point of order would be in a case like this i think were all trying to come to the same conclusion could it be okay to send someone out. Well recommend a inspector to survey the unit i have seen a couple of permits in my time in the department where they allowed for someone who was immovable to have a union others ground floor thats what the section discuses. Its a temporary thing. And also i think were getting cover with the new legislation the commissioner was saying it gives us that opport
That didnt happy in planning unless during the moratorium for whatever reason wanted to make it an illegal secondary unit. Correct theyll have to do the moratorium. We wont have to act. Because the board is enclosing it the board was impose certain conditions in terms of the process thats correct that the moratorium will be recorded and no action taken up to 10 years you have other conditions about it being used at a certain period so commissioner lee. I have been writing things down so let me see the appellant sooerm has two options theres either one to give the Planning Department the plans so the Planning Department legalize the thank you very much or the second unit at the house and as soon as they submit it the work of abatement is stayed considered stayed we dont take action it becomes whatever it becomes the permit action becomes whatever it becomes; right . The second action the appellant requests a moratorium the moratorium requires the board to make finding well have to send
Concur if to the acceptable to all parties thats the road to go that route. Commissioner mar. Before we continue this discussion hear from the chair. So is the appellant here . Good afternoon, commissioners john im with the law firm with rubbing benefit and rose with the Property Owner we appreciate the turns that was granted last month how far how this unit it was created in the early 1990s at the time an ill relative of a previous owner since then or extended family since then mr. Phillips moved into the building the downstairs harassed been 0u79d by itself 75yearold grandmother for seven years basically, their trying to safeguard that space whats happened between the time we filled the appeal commissioner president wus legalization legislation passed this officers one routed numerous of how to deal what the unit prior to that we were going to speak about the moratorium allowed for in the Building Code a situation when you have a disabled or elderly folks in the room we since the con
A second. Has the department been there to inspector the department is aware of it has the department been inside. Not inside since the notice of violation was issued commissioner walker. Has there i mean, i know its kind of a complicated situation but maybe we could get our housing folks in just to assist a little bit in a pass forward like we do if its a tenant in a second unit kind of thing our Code Enforcement outreach folks as a way to try and find a path forward on this i have issues if theres a safety issue egresses that but its not really a second unit. No. Its kind of one of the complicated situations. I have a question at the time. Commissioner mccray. At this time in which this kitchen was added what was the nature of the cold then what were they trying to do or evade. There would be less opportunity inform legalize it back then as it is now. Because a theres been a weak legislation making it more attractive to legalize other unit. Through the chair commissioner mccray. Ther

Commissioner walker i think that the issue we have is it the stove there and the whether its right or not has to be permitted so whether its allowed i think we need to check in with planning their did ones that gives us an okay to be able to do that i think the moratorium is once we take action more of a penalty phase we stop the action essentially but this is like we need to go to planning and go through the inspection process to determine the process for the stove and whatever else is involved that it so id like to clarify the moratorium allows the issue to the board can approve a moratorium up to 10 years and allows the conditions to exist in order the board has to make specific finding no hazards at this point unites you have enough evidence. Commissioner melgar. So back to you what the action we could take if we go to the moratorium route to be then say that we need to find out more about the safety send an inspector 0 out there its not necessarily like
