Demolition Permits Issued for 5119 N Claremont Avenue in Lincoln Square

Demolition permits have been issued for a two-story masonry building located at 5119 N Claremont Avenue in Lincoln Square. It is unclear what the owners, filed under Susan and Dinikar Russell and Vinnakota, are planning for site. However, the current zoning designation is RS-3, which allows for detached single-family homes and two-flats. This designation also allows for a maximum height of 30 feet and a floor area ratio of 0.9, meaning that any replacing structure may have a floor area up to 90 percent of the area of the site itself.
