How do u turn in an establishment that constantly has Police parking in the 1 & only Disabled Parking Spot?
March 122010
The bar on the first floor has been breaking law after law for the entior time they have been open (About 2 years now) and I only now realize exactly HOW MANY LAWS they break on a weekly (Sometimes Daily) basis… They are constanly braging about how one of the owners has a LOT of cop friends that protect them and they are always ‘encouraging’ cops to eat here so they can get on their knees and blow them to continue their protection and it is only NOW I realize that the fact that I have had to call the cops and file a noise complaint at LEAST once a week, usually upwards of 5 times a NIGHT on weekends with the overly intoxicated patrons out in the parking lot until 2:00am to 3:00am so I am DONE calling down there and asking them to turn the music down and control their customers!
I am going to start collecting video of their illegal outdoor events… I’m going to start taking pictures of how they block off the whole parking lot and treat it as one big patio… (Which is illegal if their Outdoor Patio/Beer Garden License is only for the “Normal” patio that they use) I’m going to take video of the over served drunks stumbling to their cars or, even worse, SHOWING UP DRUNK and stumbling INSIDE then stumbling even more BACK to their car… And I’m going to turn in each and every person without a disabled parking placard…
I AM DONE PLAYING NICE.
I have HIGH DEF pictures of the police officer’s car:

Who can I turn these photos in to?
And just do demonstrate how tired of all this I am, I have done the research and discovered that the specific ordinances they have broken EVERY DAY are:
11-4-2800 Music and amplified sound.
(a) No person on the public way shall employ any device or instrument that creates or amplifies sound, including but not limited to any loudspeaker, bullhorn, amplifier, public address system, musical instrument, radio or device that plays recorded music, to generate any sound, for the purpose of communication or entertainment, that is louder than average conversational level at a distance of 100 feet or more, measured vertically or horizontally, from the source.
(b) Between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., no person on any private open space shall employ any device or instrument that creates or amplifies sound, including but not limited to any loudspeaker, bullhorn, amplifier, public address system, musical instrument, radio or device that plays recorded music, to generate any sound, for the purpose of communication or entertainment, that is louder than average conversational level at a distance of 100 feet or more from the property line of the property from which the noise is being generated.

FAQ from the City of Chicago Department of Environment Website ( http://www.cityofchicago.org )
What are the requirements of having an outdoor patio or beer garden? Can I serve liquor at my sidewalk cafe?
An Outdoor Patio License allows the service of liquor to the public outdoors on private property. Outdoor Patios must be enclosed and be directly adjacent to the existing licensed business. No live or recorded music should be played in an Outdoor Patio and it must be closed (for both food and liquor service) by 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.
Outdoor Events – An outdoor Special Event Liquor License is required anytime liquor is to be served or sold outdoors to the public at a previously unlicensed location or at a private event in the which the attendants are charged a fee for the event. Although licensed caterers may provide liquor service for these events, the service of liquor by a licensed caterer DOES NOT exempt the event holder from obtaining a special event liquor license. Contact the Mayor’s Office of Special Events at (312) 744-0793 no later than two months before the event to receive information on the outdoor special event application process.
The two squad cars in the far end of the lot left at 9:06 p.m. The car in the disabled spot left at 9:08 pm
Being on an upper floor, I can see the whole lot from both bedroom windows, the kitchen window, and the living room window.
P.S. No, we can’t move until the economy gets better and we can afford it…
P.P.S. We lived here a good number of years BEFORE the bar opened.
Your details and documentation are excellent. Please consider any repercussions, once you set the wheels in motion. The District Attorney for the City and County will consider your complaint and enforcement of violations, but in doing so you are also going to subject yourself to some ridicule. I am sorry but the reality of the situation is they may tell you that they are busy catching hardened criminals.
You may also file a complain with the State license board, they are more likely to be interested in action TAF (Tobacco,Alcohol, Firearms) gets quicker response. Sincere best wishes in your quest. and thank you.
