PROPERTY TAX APPEAL BOARD'S DECISION
APPELLANT: Gordon Mash
DOCKET NO.: 03-21515.001-R-1
PARCEL NO.: 06-21-202-050-0000
The parties of record before the Property Tax Appeal Board are
Gordon Mash, the appellant, by attorney Michael Griffin of
Chicago, and the Cook County Board of Review.
The subject property consists of a one-year-old, two-story,
single-family dwelling of frame construction containing 2,704
square feet of living area and located in Hanover Township, Cook
County. Features of the residence include two and one-half
bathrooms, a full-unfinished basement, air-conditioning, a
fireplace and a three-car attached garage.
The appellant, through counsel, submitted evidence before the
Property Tax Appeal Board claiming unequal treatment in the
assessment process of the improvement as the basis of the appeal.
In support of this claim, the appellant submitted assessment data
and descriptive information on four properties suggested as
comparable to the subject. The appellant also submitted a one-page
brief, a photograph of the subject, Cook County Assessor's
Internet Database sheets for the subject and two of the suggested
comparables and a copy of the board of review's decision. Based
on the appellant's documents, the four suggested comparables
consist of two-story, twelve or thirteen-year-old, single-family
dwellings of frame construction located within the same survey
block as the subject. The improvements range in size from 2,386
to 2,580 square feet of living area. The comparables contain two
and one-half bathrooms and air-conditioning. Two comparables
contain an unfinished basement, one comparable has a fireplace
and three comparables have a two-car attached garage. The
improvement assessments range from $7.11 to $7.56 per square foot
