Seller notes, buyers use proper due diligence: Property is a LEGAL non-conforming 3 unit per the city of Waukegan, and property is currently zoned as a 2-unit, but can stay a 3 unit as long as owner wants. However, this means that if property significantly damaged in fire or other event greater than 50% of the value it can only be rebuilt as a 2 Unit. Also note that there is a shared 10' easement for driveway for ingress/egress with 2 unit on West side of property (430 Cory), but each property has separate parking for cars on their individual property (NO shared parking area). This neighbor's garage encroaches 3.5 feet into 424 property line, there is a recorded easement allowing this and it does not affect parking or driveway easement.
