FOIA Request to City of Park Ridge Regarding Building Permits on October 30, 2024.
As a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at North Cook News have requested records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. The request specifically pertains to all new residential and commercial building permits issued from January 1, 2023, up until the present date.
The information sought includes details such as the type of permit, date issued, fee paid, requester's name, address of the property in question, and the contractor's name. Additionally, we have also requested a list of all active residential and commercial building permits along with their current status.
This request is part of our ongoing efforts to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public. Access to these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. As a member of the media involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional.
We await a response from the City of Park Ridge regarding this matter.
