Stay Safe!
Chicago Police are warning of a series of recent armed robberies that have taken place during the early evening hours inside garages just east of our neighborhood. The robbers have entered the garages while the victims were pulling in to park their cars, police said. Be aware of other vehicles in the alley and consider having someone look out for you as you get home.
Additionally, phones and iPods have been the target of strong arm robberies – users are walking down the street or riding the train with the volume turned up and they don’t hear anyone coming up behind them! Or when they are texting on their cell phones, they need to be more aware of what is occurring around them. Many times young adults or students will be so busy texting each other, they can’t recall any type of description of the offender(s). Please turn the volume down and be aware of who and what is around you!

It’s that time again. Alderman Schulter is sponsoring a seminar on filing property tax appeals. Please see details below.

Dear Neighbors,
Last night, over 100 47th Ward residents joined me for a Board of Review workshop with Commissioner Berrios’ staff to discuss how to appeal property tax assessments. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the residents who attended this important meeting. I strongly believe that every property owner in the 47th Ward should submit an appeal to the Board of Review.
As you know, the Cook County Board of Review is now accepting appeals for residents living in the Lakeview Township. In the 47th Ward, all properties located east of Western Avenue are in the Lakeview Township. The deadline to file your appeal with the Board of Review is February 22, 2010. Appeal forms are available at my office. You can also drop off your appeal form to my office by Friday, February 19, 2010 by 5:00 pm.
In collaboration with Commissioner Berrios, I will be sponsoring one more workshop to assist residents in filing their Real Estate Assessed Valuation Complaint Form.
Board of Review Workshop
Thursday, January 28, 2010
Ravenswood School
4332 N. Paulina
7:00 pm
If you are unable to attend this meeting but would like more information on filing an appeal, please contact my office at 773-348-8400.
Best Wishes,
Alderman Gene Schulter
