Chicago Multi-Family Re-Zoning Question
Hello - I bought a 2 flat this past winter on the west side of Chicago. It is a 2 flat, with a basement unit (3rd unit) that is technically illegal. I believe it is illegal because it doesn't have separate utilities from the first floor. It does have 2 exits and ceilings seem high enough to possibly make it a legal 3rd unit.
My question is if I were to go through the process to make that unit legal, how easy it is to get something re-zoned? Any resources in Chicago that would help me with this process? Would this be worth it financially?
Thanks for your time. This is my first Multi-Family so learning as I go.
