EDIT - I edited the title so folks know what I'm asking



My company has been working out in the boonies since inception in March 2015.
One of the companies I work for referred me to another, who wants me to shoot in Chicago in 3 weeks

We are 333 exempt, also have 107, and a current insurance policy.
My question is, what else will I need to go do this shoot, any special waivers, etc?
It's not "downtown", but still has a Chicago address.

910 W Huron St Chicago, IL
170 ft building.
If I fly 20ft above it, total height will be 190ft.

I'm a noobie when it comes to big cities so I thought I would ask you guys.

Thanks in advance for any replies

So nothing special, no "City Use Permit" or anything out of the norm?
 

Never been to Chicago, but from an airspace perspective, you are golden. Just outside the "upside down cake" of O'Hare's class B ring (begins at 3,000) and Midway's class C (begins at surface)..
I am ignorant of any permits or city ordinances, or cops attitudes toward drones, or helicopter traffic. Looks challenging, with lots of air traffic.

thank you very much for your reply, I appreciate it for sure.
hopefully some Big City guys might also reply

edit - I'd like to also publicly apologize to anything negative I may have posted towards you in the recent past. It's very difficult to judge someone by their online presence. After a month on this site I can see that you're one of the good guys thanks again for your reply to my question.
