Chris and Rodney, the operator at 312.744.3449 said that you were the people who could help me with my FOIA request, so I am forwarding this to you as well. If you can reply with electronic docs by email, please "reply to all," as I'm old school & don't put all my eggs in 1 basket. Thank you,

Dear City of Chicago Dept. of Buildings:
 
I am writing you because I need your assistance with a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request of certain public documents in your department.
 
I'm the legal reporter assigned to an investigative fraud story with regard to allegations of a "Mortgage Rescue Scam" (aka Mortgage Fraud) concerning the sale of 1720 North Sedgwick Street in your Old Towne district. (Should you wish to peruse this news item, it is still front-page news on The Register, my namesake news blog, www.GordonWatts.com or www.GordonWayneWatts.com linked in my email signature below, and is titled: "(Tue. 01 Dec. 2015, from Staff Reports) Courts * Chicago Courts refuse to help elderly 'Mortgage Rescue Scam' victim; make him homeless:" -- I'm not the only reporter/editor, but, as it's an eponymous blog URL, I'm the editor-in-chief --and principal reporter.)
 
Anyhow, to the point: Sources tell me that there is additional information in public records docs than what I can get here, online (referring to the screen grab below), and so, to that end, I'd like all the permitting paperwork, and anything else convenient you have, on this address.
 
You may "reply to all" of my email addresses in the cc line, and, if possible, you may send me electronic copies of said images (e.g., PDF, Jay Peg, PNG, gif image, tiff image etc.). I am working on deadline.
If there is a fee, please get back with me: My full contact information is in my byline, below the inline image screen capture, below.

"First, they [Nazis] came for the Jews. I was silent. I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists. I was silent. I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists. I was silent. I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me. There was no one left to speak for me."(Martin Niemöller, given credit for a quotation in The Harper Religious and Inspirational Quotation Companion, ed. Margaret Pepper(New York: Harper &Row, 1989), 429 -as cited on page 44, note 17,of Religious Cleansing in the American Republic, by Keith A. Fornier,Copyright 1993, by Liberty, Life, and Family Publications.

Some versions have Mr. Niemöller saying: "Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up, because I was a Protestant"; other versions have him saying that they came for Socialists, Industrialists, schools, the press,and/or the Church; however, it's certain he DID say SOMETHING like this. Actually, they may not have come for the Jews first, as it's more likely they came for the prisoners, mentally handicapped, &other so-called "inferiors" first -as historians tell us-so they could get "practiced up"; however, they did come for them -due to the silence of their neighbors -and due in part to their own silence. So: "
Speak up now or forever hold your peace!"-GWW
