A pair of three-flats have been approved this month for adjacent lots at 3155 and 3157 West Monroe Street in East Garfield Park. Both were issued with reported costs of $480,000 for each permit, with 3155 coming through on September 11, and 3157 issued on September 18. Applications were filed for both on June 17.

From the alley, via Google Street View. Both buildings will get three surface-parking spaces
The two permits are identical. They call for three-story, three-unit buildings with rear decks on the second and third floors. Three surface parking spaces with EV-ready outlets will be added at the alley behind the lots. Five-foot metal and six-foot wood fencing will surround the lots, which are both currently vacant.
Truth Properties LLC is named as the developer, with Alan Leskiv providing designs. AG Construction & Restoration is the general contractor.
