Thank you all. I’m not going to bother with moving forward. It seems the hurdles are too high. 

I recently bought a multi-family property in Belmont Cragin. It is a 2-unit flat with a basement. It has three electrical panels inside (one for each unit and the basement/common areas) and spots for three meters. It seems the common area meter is missing. The basement/common areas panel is being jumped feed from the 1st floor panel. I’m hiring an electrician to seperate, he said this would be no problem. 

How do I work with ComEd to get the common building meter installed. Will I run into any issues? How I get billed to the common meter like I do for units 1 and 2. 

I recently bought a multi-family property in Chicago. I am looking to have the basement be made into a legal third unit. I would like to have the basement redone to have a separate heating system from the 1st floor unit, re-do the basement kitchen, install a washer and dryer and install a separate electric system. I would also like to explore sub-metering for water in the property as well. The property is in Belmont Cragin in Chicago and I'm looking for a reputable contractor to help me with the conversion.
