Today, I received a phone call from the Chicago Building Department. Two weeks ago, when I had my meeting, I left my building plans with a gentleman in charge of New Construction. Basically, he was going to get back to the architect who drew them up, and have the plans revised so that I can continue on with my project as originally planned.
