Mike Lamb Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 I inspected this church over a year ago. It's now, according to their website, the 3rd largest circus arts training center in the US. http://www.aloftloft.com/ Click to Enlarge 54.39 KB Click to Enlarge 60.13 KB Click to Enlarge 65.98 KB Click to Enlarge 72.01 KB Click to Enlarge 44.16 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kogel Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 What's scary? Dozens of people swinging to and fro from an ancient ceiling that wasn't designed to support live loads. Just funning with you, Mike. Happy Halloween! [:-magnify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lamb Posted October 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 When I was walking through with my client, she said, "This room would work good for the contortionists." I feel most good inspectors are contortionists and should be certified as such.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Given the weirdness of DCAP and the CCDB, I'm interested to know what issues or restrictions were placed, if any. I can see how the zoning was probably worked out; so many of the old churches scattered all over this city are emptying or abandoned, neighbors and city council want something done with them. Do you know about any regulatory hurdles your client had to jump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know about any regulatory hurdles your client had to jump? None. My limited info on this had no issues with zoning changes. Alderperson, community made this happen fast. Like God, the city bureaucracy works in mysterious ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 I'm not surprised in the zoning acceptance. I know a lot of (essentially) abandoned churches all over the City have neighbors wanting them on the tax roll. If the alder-person wants it, they probably worked w/the CCDB to make it happen. Cool thing. I'm gonna check it out. Logan Square has turned into Brooklyn; it's unreal what's going on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
