A South Lawndale home ordered demolished by the city more than four years ago now has a permit to build on its vacant lot. At 2327 South Homan Avenue, permission was granted on February 26 to build a three-story, three unit building. A developer identified as 2327 Homan LLC applied for the permit on August 7 of last year, and it came through with a reported cost of $300,000.

Angel Sida is named in the permit as the architect of record, and ANM Mechanical Services is the general contractor. Scant architectural details include a two-story rear wood porch and perimeter fencing. Three surface parking spaces will be provided along the alley at the back of the lot. It is not specified if these will be rental apartments or for-sale condominiums.
The subject parcel lies dead-center of the block between West 23rd and West 24th Streets. The previous home on the site was built in 1898. The city ordered its demolition on December 16, 2021, paying Simplee Removal & Trucking of Maywood a reported $30,010 to raze the structure. Google images now show the lot to be vacant.

Great job! I’m glad to see that this will be built on vacant property, instead of tearing down an existing house, as seems to be the current trend in other neighborhoods. Let’s try to devop these neighborhoods to solve our housing crisis. Make these areas safe, and the development of them will be a hige benefit to society, in more ways than one.
This architecture is so bad. Chicago is going to look so sad in the future. We need to demand better architecture.
Its gonna cost alot of mula billy $300,000 for a building like to see how it looks after build
The only question is how to pay for it.
