A pair of recent permits issued by the City of Chicago will allow Addition Dwelling Units for properties located in the Wicker Park and Southport Corridor neighborhoods. Chicago has been nearing a resolution to ease the process of ADU approvals, but the measure was delayed at last month’s City Council meeting.
Another Chicago home built in 1910 will meet a very different fate than the one at 1300 West Newport Avenuefeatured yesterday. At 5339 North Glenwood Avenue in Andersonville, a two-unit residence has been permitted for a deconversion into a single-family residence, but it will make up for the lost unit by building a coach house and Additional Dwelling Unit on the alley.
Two permits were issued on April 29 for the property at 2855 North Troy Street in Avondale. One permit calls for a two-story with basement, two unit residential building at the front of the property. The second permit allows for a two-story ADU on the alley at the rear of the property. The permits show application dates of December 20, 2024 for the main residence, and January 7, 2025 for the additional dwelling unit.
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.
