To: Cook County Assessor's Office. I am submitting this appeal on the grounds that my property at 1423 N Maple Ave has been assessed at a value materially higher than comparable properties in the same neighborhood. Five properties within a four-block radius, matched on square footage, year built, and construction type, carry an average assessed value of $402,400 — $84,800 below my current assessment of $487,200.
