Is this property in Illinois? If so a campaign contribution to the correct party is likely in order. Whether that is the mayor etc. is something to figure out from what you know and/or can find out about the local political power structure.

Yes it's in Illinois. But I'm not going to do that, It would be equivalent to me selling my soul, to give a government official money for a favour be that a legal bribe(campaign contribution just to garner favour) or otherwise. I'd buy a less ideal building and keep my ethics.
