The commission on Chicago historical and architectural Landmarks shall examine and advise the building commissioner whether the proposed work meets with its approval for all applications for building permits for alterations, additions, repairs or demolition of any building or structure designated as a “Chicago Landmark” or located within a Chicago landmark district. Such examination shall be made after application for the permit is filed but before review by the department of buildings. This examination shall be based on the appropriateness of the proposed work in relation to the spirit of the landmarks ordinance and consistent with the most recent guidelines available from the commission on Chicago historical and architectural landmarks. In cases where the proposed work would remedy conditions imminently dangerous to life, health, and property, the commission shall approve the permit application for emergency repairs not withstanding other considerations relating to its status as a “Chicago Landmark”.
