Unusual for a demolition permit to be pending for any length of time. They're generally permitted the same day. But that's what we have for 2133 North Fremont.

I certainly hope the fencing just put up in front of 2133 N Fremont St is just for renovation. However that’s rarely the case πŸ€” No sale records & it’s been 3-unit rental. @BuildingChi

The caretaker's home is gone, and the school is going now. Soon, all of Ravenswood Presbyterian Church will be no more. https://t.co/dVuPSyrOGK

The 3-story building at left was permitted in September 2016, to be an addition to Kingston Mines next door. it looks like it was never finished. Yesterday, the city ordered its demolition.

Since vintage demolition isn't involved, but some will need something to be angry about, the permit calls for six parking spaces in the basement level, plus a three-car and six-car garage, and one surface parking space. For 8 units.

Another big Burling Street construction permit issued yesterday, but this time, nothing will be torn down except (I think) a garage in the back. 4 stories, 8 units, parking in the basement and in detached garage(s)

To clarify: I’m not going to stand here and wait for excavation. Caissons are done, and foundation work will be next. That’s what we’re waiting for.

Looks like the sales center is close to opening. I didn't know a name had been chosen until yesterday. Fulton Bond has a website, too. https://t.co/AfeJkPs3Gd
