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 permit to raze the structure and its detached frame garage was issued on June 2nd, with the Carlos Group named as the demolition contractor.
Two demolition permits were issued by the City of Chicago to allow BandWith Chicago to remove remnants of the former Loyal Casket Company from their new location. Assigned as 134 South California Avenue and issued on May 22, the permits address a metal building and a loading dock at the south end of the property, which extends from Wilcox Street south to Adams Street. Alpine Demolition Services is named as the contractor, at a reported combined cost of $32,000. The two demolitions will pave the way for BandWith’s outdoor gathering space and parking lot.

A permit for the third razing has yet to be issued, while 3631 North Sheffield. the “Torco Building,” got one on February 25.
A demolition permit has been issued for a modest single-story residence at 1735 West Grand Avenue in West Town. That tear down could mean construction is imminent for a 32-unit apartment building planned for the lot spanning 1735 through 1747. Two buildings that were home to the AmTab manufacturing Company next door were permitted for demolition in August 2017. Those lots have been vacant since demo work was completed.
