Please join us on May 28, 2026, a Lunch & Learn featuring former City of Chicago Commissioner of Buildings, Judy Frydland. During her tenure, Judy led major reforms that modernized Chicago’s building code, streamlined the permitting process, and helped shape best practices for development and compliance throughout the city.

Drawing from decades of experience in building code enforcement, permitting, and government compliance, Judy will share practical insights and strategies for effectively working with the City of Chicago’s Building Department — including specific discussion on navigating and resolving building violations, avoiding common pitfalls, and improving communication with city officials.
