Demolition permits have been issued for a three-story masonry residential building and a detached frame garage, located at 5522 S Indiana Avenue in Washington Park. It is unclear what the owner Jayenne Commercial Finance Inc has planned to replace the now-vacant multi-unit structure, though the site is currently zoned for C1-2. C1-2 allows for retail space on the ground floor and apartment units on the upper floors. The designation also permits a floor area ratio of 2.2 in that the total square footage may be up to 2.2 times the area of the lot itself.
