Fuego Mexican Grill is suing the city for roadblocks it has allegedly faced in renewing its permits after a shooting occurred on the premises.
According to the complaint, the following took place:
- July 15, 2009 - Club 2047 d/b/a Fuego Mexican Grill requests that the city schedule an inspection for renewal of its Public Place of Amusement (PPA) permits
- August 25, 2009 - Special Investigation Program (SIP) Inspection conducted
- September 14, 2009 - Building supervisor orally approves inspection
- October 8, 2009 - Building supervisor advises club that formal approval should occur in the next week
- October 15, 2009 - An altercation occurs at the club resulting in a shooting death
- October 17, 2009 - Buildings Department refuses to enter any data in computer system verifying SIP inspection approval
- October 22, 2009 - Club submits PPA renewal application to Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection (BACP) and BACP informs Club that it will not approve the application until the SIP approval is entered in the computer system.
Fuego Mexican Grill cannot hold live entertainment without the PPA licenses and cannot survive as a business without revenue from these live events, the complaint states.

Apparently, the plaintiff hadn't heard of the Chicago $5 handshake. Of course, with inflation, it is probably now $500.
