The second permit allows for a two-story ADU on the alley at the rear of the property.

The site’s existing single-family home was permitted for demolition on November 26 of last year. A visit to the property early in January showed all the siding stripped from the exterior, but the home and garage were still standing. Real estate records indicate the 1887-built residence was sold in January 2024 for $750,000.

FYI, I live nearby – this building and garage were completely demolished 2-3 weeks ago. There’s nothing there anymore. Good to know what’s coming though.
Thanks Jay. They waited quite a while before taking it down.
