Bill No. 17-39- Non-Compliance Waiver for Hoffman Hotel Apartments Frank Agostino, 131 S Taylor St., stated, I am here on behalf my brother Peter. This is in regard to an abatement that was previously approved. There are multiple issues here. First, Resolution 4286-13, in section 1 it says, "Such abatement is limited to two (2) calendar years."But then section two (2) says, "It is a property tax deduction for a period of ten(10) years." So there are time periods in that resolution that are contradictory. The biggest mea culpa on the part of my client is they were supposed to file a Form 322/RE on this. There were issues whether they got a notice explaining the petition because that triggers the date and time they are supposed to file the Form 322/RE. The petitioner claims he had not received any notice. He had been in communication with the Redevelopment Commission and there was turnover up there.Needless to say, it got lost in the shuffle. So in the time period in which you're supposed to file, it didn't happen, so he is asking the Council to waive that and that is something permitted for the Council to do, to waive that time period and let him file that.
