A pair of permits were issued to begin construction of two three-flats on the 500 block of North Lawndale Avenue in the Humboldt Park neighborhood. Permits for 530 and 538 North Lawndale came through on May 30, though their applications were filed two weeks apart in mid-April/early May. USA Roofing Supply Inc, registered to a North Avenue address, is named as the developer and general contractor, with a reported cost of $665,000 showing for each building.

Hanna Architects is named as the architect of record, with each two-story, three-unit structure including a basement. Rear parches are the single architectural detail mentioned in the permits. Concrete pads at the rear of the properties will each include three parking spaces.
USA Roofing Supply has a third permit pending for the block. 544 North Lawndale will also be a two-story plus basement structure, will with only two units instead of three. Two parking spaces will be included on the alley. That home will sit on a corner lot formed by Lawndale Avenue and the eastwest alley.
Across the street at 523 North Lawndale, they received a fourth permit on March 21st that is identical to the two on the west side of the street, with three units and three parking spaces. Just north of that property, at 535 North Lawndale, their fifth permit on this street has been pending in the Chicago Data Portal since February for yet another three-unit building. These two are also Hanna designs, and USA Roofing Supply will act as their own general contractor, according to the permits.

All five projects are currently vacant lots, so no demolition permits will be required. It is not clear at this time how many buildings will be constructed at the same time, nor if these will be rental of for-sale units.
