Overall Feedback:

My family and myself moved out of Glendale Heights a year ago. Well, the annual calendar reminder that I created after the Village screwed my family out of $10,000 showed up this morning up telling me to post another, HONEST/scathing review of the Village & employees. I will be warning everyone in Dupage county to avoid Glendale Heights at least once a year until I croak. Until the mayor (Linda Jackson) replaces the incompetent/rude employees (Joanne Kalchbrennber - Director of Community Development), (Tom Bialas - Assistant Director of Com Developmnt), and the attorney (Richard J. Ramello) you SHOULD AVOID this city at ALL COSTS!I warn against anyone who is thinking of buying, building, or renovating a home in Glendale Heights. It feels like organized crime (or total incompetence) is involved with the inspectors/Mayors/Village attorney's office after selling my home after living in the city for 5 years, and working with the Director of Community Development (Joanne Kalchbrenner) the Assistant Director of Community Development (Tom Bialas). The mayor (Linda Jackson) did not help or replace the inept employees, and the Village Attorney (Riochard Ramello).We bought the home from a flipper who renovated it after purchasing the home as a foreclosure. During our ownership we made changes to the finishes (painting walls and cabinets, floors, and installed a dishwasher) but did not do anything major.We went to sell our home this month, and city inspectors informed us that we were in trouble because we did not secure permits for the major renovations. WE NEVER MADE THESE CHANGES AS THEY WERE DONE BY THE FLIPPER WE BOUGHT THE HOME FROM!We even have the MLS listing for the past 3 sales of the home proving we never made these changes, but no one wants to see this documentation. They forced us to pay for pernits on work that we did not do, and even had to pay to expedite the reinspection process. After all is said and done we had to pay $9,000 to correct issues on work that was done by the prior owner.It seems that they issued transfer stamps to the flipper we bought from without completing an inspection on his work as we never saw the inspection results or received escrow money for the repairs like we should have.
