A permit has been issued to allow a homeowner in North Center to add an Additional Dwelling Unit to their home at 2015 West School Street. The permit was issued on March 26 and shows an application date of February 19; the reported construction cost for the ADU is $42,300.
A new construction single-family home permitted in December with only surface parking spaces included in the plans now has permission to add an Additional Dwelling Unit at the back of the property. The residence at 3456 North Claremont Avenue in North Center demolished late in 2024 included a garage, so it’s no surprise that a two-car garage will now be included with the new home, along with one residential unit on the second floor. The ADU permit was issued on March 10, with an application date shown of February 14.
A permit was issued February 13 by the City of Chicago to allow the owner of a three-unit residence at 2421 West Lexington Street in Tri-Taylor to add a fourth unit. The three-story building has a basement level, so it’s natural to assume the Additional Dwelling Unit will be built downstairs, but the permit does not specify that. RY National, Inc is named as the general contractor, with the permit indicating a cost of $50,000 for work performed.
A new single-family home nearing completion at 3446 North Oakley Avenue in North Center will soon build an Additional Dwelling Unit to go with the main residence. G Alan Development received a permit on Valentine’s Day to erect a two-story coach house with two parking spaces on the ground level, and an ADU on the second floor.
A renovation permit issued by the city of Chicago on February 10 allows one Additional Dwelling Unit for a 1900s greystone two-flat at 1332 South Lawndale Avenue in North Lawndale. Property records show the building was sold in December of last year to Siesta Apartments, Inc., and now a third unit can be added to the two-unit property.
