A permit was issued late last week to remove a two-story residence along with a detached frame garage, located at 3440 N Avers Avenue in the Avondale neighborhood. The permit’s owner has been listed as 2315 N Kenneth LLC.
The closest bus service available is Route 152. This service can be found at the intersection of Addison & Hamlin which is a five-minute walk north of the property site. The CTA Blue line can be boarded at the Addison station via a nine-minute walk northeast. There are dining and retail options within five minutes of the property along W Addison Street.
All Concrete Chicago Inc is serving as the demolition contractor. No permits or plans for a future build have been submitted at the time of this writing.

another bit of Chicago history disappears….to be replaced by another brick bunker, or worse, like the building just below it in the YIMBY feed. Chicago should make a policy of tax credits to figure out how to renovate / restore / add to these existing structures while maintaining their architectural integrity. Joni Mitchell: “You don’t know what you got til it’s gone….”
“No permits or plans for a future build have been submitted at the time of this writing” is the worst thing to read in these pervasive demolition stories. They are pulling down the urban fabric without as much as a plan.
