A permit has been issued to replace a 120-year-old greystone at 3423 North Janssen Avenue in Lake View with a new three-flat residence. Showing an application start date of May 13, the permit came through after a 176-wait with a reported cost of $1, which is likely not accurate. Buckley Builders of Park Ridge is named as the property owner.

Site context of 3423 North Janssen Avenue via Google Maps
Real estate records show Buckley, as the entity of 3423 N Janssen LLC, closing on the property in February at a purchase price of $1.24 million. A wrecking permit issued on October 28 for the 1905-built two-unit home and its detached garage listed DemoX as the demolition contractor at a reported cost of $14,000. We have not verified if razing has begun.
In its place will be a three-story plus basement, three-unit residential building drawn up by Michael Cox & Associates. Plans include an occupiable roof deck with pergola, front decks on the second and third levels, and a covered deck at the rear of the first floor. A detached three-car garage at the alley will also have a rooftop deck. Buckley Builders will handle general contracting duties. It is presumed the new dwelling units will be offered as for-sale condominiums, but that has not been confirmed.
