A construction permit has been issued to build a three-story plus basement, two-unit residential building at 2966 North Oakley Avenue in North Center.

A single-family residence at 1847 North Mohawk Street in Lincoln Park has been purchased by a developer, and a demolition permit has been issued to knock it down. The three-story home, sold in April for $2.1 million, was built in 1988. The permit to raze the structure and its detached frame garage was issued on June 2nd, with the Carlos Group named as the demolition contractor.
The new construction permit has been issued by the City of Chicago to replace a home demolished in February at 3739 North Clifton Avenue in Wrigleyville. An application to build was filed by property owner United Chicago Builders in January, a month before the original building was torn down, with the permit coming through four months later on May 27. It cites a reported construction cost of $850,000.
