A demolition permit has been issued for the Dunkin at 6254 North Western Avenue in West Ridge. That permit will allow construction to begin for a new restaurant that was permitted back in October of last year.
Demolition has begun on what was little more than an eyesore of a building at 1445 North Ashland Avenue in the Wicker Park/Noble Square area. What looks like a two-story structure that was never finished, or perhaps a renovation that was never completed, has finally met the proverbial wrecking ball, giving way to a new residential development on the site. A demolition permit was issued on November 20 of last year, and thanks to a Twitter user, we know that demo work got started this week.
A pair of demolition permits were issued on March 7 for the property at 4846 North Hermitage Avenue in Uptown. The main permit will tear down a three-story brick residential building from the 1890s, while the second demo permit allows for the removal of a recently rebuilt four-vehicle detached garage. The buildings are being removed to make space of a single-family residence permitted for construction back in early February.
The demolition permit issued by the City of Chicago for the residential building at 3729 North Clifton Avenue in Wrigleyville has been ignored. In a way. What we thought might have been a typo somewhere along the chain of command does indeed appear to have been a simple slip of a digit, and the home that was supposed to be taken down, at 3939 North Clifton, has now been demolished.
A demolition permit has been issued for a two-story industrial building and delivery bay at 2224 West Grand Avenue Chicago’s West Town Community Area. The permit came through on February 27, assigning B & K Concrete 1 of Blue Island as the deno contractor, at an estimated cost of $65,000. The building was the home of the Rainbow Art, Inc., and sold in fall of last year. But details about the selling price, as well as when Rainbow Art vacated the building, have proven difficult to find.
