I cannot give legal advice please do not take this as legal advice, but I can give a personal advise.

Call the Chicago Zoning board of appeals and ask them directly why it is rejected and what can you do to make it accepted as a 3 unit.

If they tell you that there is a specific requirement you need satisfy then do it. if they tell you there is nothing you can do unless you request a re-zoning then consider whether you want to spend the money and time going through the rezoning process or accept it as is or reject the deal.

USUALLY, there is a reason they reject what they have accepted.

@Tan Su, the property was actually accepted as a 3 unit in 2014 but now the zoning department is rejecting that. The 3 units are all above ground. Does that change your suggestion?

If anyone has attorney suggestions, I would appreciate them. Thanks!

rezoning is not feasible, it's very costly. if it's zoning a 2 unit then you are in a so called pre-existing non-conforming, check the floor area ratio if you are already over then there is not much you can do, however if you your FAR is below then there are potential opportunities for the garden unit considering the newly passed ordinance.

@Khloe Renee Williams I did once on my own. It’s a Florida certificate, I petitioned the tax deed and the property got foreclosed and then sold by the county on auction. I got the investment back plus 18% interest
