A demolition permit has been issued for the residential building at 3837 North Clark Street in the Wrigleyville neighborhood. The permit was issued on January 24 to developer Mangan Builders. Precision Excavation is named as the demolition contractor, at an estimated cost of $30,000.
Demolition has begun on the former discount furniture store at 1950 West Lawrence Avenue in Ravenswood. The back wall of the structure has been broken through, allowing a clear view from the alley all the way the the front windows of the store’s showroom.
