Mark P 6 Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 This is an "Historic" grand hotel that was active 1927 - 1957. It was then used for other purpose before being boarded up in 2005. It has 7 levels plus a basement. It will be renovated into apartments. The guy who opened it up for me would not go inside, so I had the entire building to explore by myself. There were some areas that looked to dangerous to walk. I was hoping to see some ghost, but they must have checked out early. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Katen 133 Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 What were you hired to do? If I were interested in developing that building into usable apartments, I'd start with a Capital Needs Assessment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Les 79 Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 That is worth taking the day off and just doing what you want in there. I have been fortunate to be able to explore many buildings in the Chicago area by myself and get paid by others to do it. Nice photo record of a "day in the life of an inspector".
