Alderman Tunney's office creates developer checklist

Developers who go through the Office of Alderman Tom Tunney (44th Ward) will have to sign a “developer checklist” that asks them to think of the neighbors around construction projects.

The Community Directed Development Council (CDDC) created the checklist last month and so far one developer has signed it, says Alicia Obando, chief of staff for Tunney’s office.

“I frequently get phone calls about construction projects next door or across the street either starting too early, making a mess or blocking an alley,” Obando says. “This is kind of a goodwill contract with the community that says they will try to adhere to these suggestions.”

Some items on the checklist:

  • Construction noise will not start before 8 a.m. or go later than 8 p.m. Starting a little later on weekend mornings would be appreciated.
  • Construction vehicles, deliveries or dumpsters shall not be in use outside of the hours of 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.
  • All construction vehicles shall obey city parking regulations.
  • The site will be secured with the proper fencing around the entire site at the end of every day.
