A private owner applied for the permit on December 2 of last year, and it came through on January 26 under the City of Chicago ADU Pilot Program with a reported cost of $25,000.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-87309\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Google-Maps-01-27-2026_07_54_AM.png\" alt=\"1821 West Haddon Avenue ADU permitted\" width=\"832\" height=\"631\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Site context of 1821 West Haddon Avenue, via Google Maps<\/p>\n<p>Real estate records indicate the property was purchased in June for $525,000, with its origins cited between 1876 and 1878. The 33-foot-high building currently has three units across its four total levels, which include existing attic and basement spaces. The renovation permit makes mention of an existing two-car frame garage, but Google images show only a fenced and gated concrete parking pad. Regardless, the ADU is to be located in the residential basement, not in a coach house. Pavlovcik Architecture is the architect of record for the new unit, and 808 Builders LLC will be the general contractor.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-87310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Chicago-Illinois-Google-Maps-01-27-2026_07_53_AM.png\" alt=\"1821 West Haddon Avenue ADU permitted\" width=\"913\" height=\"618\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Google Street View images show surface parking behind the building<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-87306\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1821-W-Haddon-Ave-Google-Maps-01-28-2026_03_42_PM.png\" alt=\"1821 West Haddon Avenue ADU permitted\" width=\"1443\" height=\"841\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nearby CTA transit options, via Google Maps<\/p>\n<p>While it appears no additional parking will be provided with the building\u2019s fourth unit, 1821 West Haddon is well situated for public transit.

A four-block ride east leads to Routes 9, X9, and 56, as well as the Division Blue Line subway station, at Division\/Ashland\/Milwaukee. The north-south #20 bus is also nearby, just three blocks west at Damen Avenue and Thomas Street.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/g_VSUf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Subscribe<\/a> to YIMBY\u2019s daily e-mail<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/yimbygram\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Follow<\/a> YIMBYgram for real-time photo updates<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/YIMBYFB\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Like<\/a>\u00a0YIMBY on Facebook<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/yimbytweets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Follow<\/a> YIMBY\u2019s Twitter for the latest in YIMBYnews<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chicagoyimby.com\/category\/adu\" rel=\"category tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ADU<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/chicagoyimby.com\/category\/east-village\" rel=\"category tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">East Village<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"display: inline;\">. <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1821 West Haddon Avenue, via Google Street View By: Daniel Schell 7:30 am on February 2, 2026 A&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":446405,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[228,226,227,229,88],"class_list":["post-446404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=446404"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446404\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/446405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=446404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=446404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=446404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
