3619 N MAGNOLIA AVE, CHICAGO, IL 60613

Overview

This Lake View single-lot property, built in 1906, is a masonry-clad two-story duplex with 2,415 square feet of building area on a 3,720 square-foot lot. Per Cook County assessor records, the structure has six bedrooms and twelve rooms across two dwelling units with two full baths, a full unfinished basement, hot water steam heating, and two-car garage capacity. Property class 211 (residential multi-family) is assessed at $83,345, an implied market value of $833,450 as of 2026. Eight code violations issued 2008-10-07 — covering the porch system, exterior wall, fence, exterior door hardware, smoke detectors, service walk/passage, owner-manager posting, and a premises inspection order — were all marked COMPLIED; a 2009-06-16 renovation permit specifically authorized rear porch replacement "to correct violations." A new construction permit issued 2026-07-10 authorizes demolition and replacement with a three-story, two-unit frame building with basement, roof decks, and a detached three-car garage, at a reported cost of $814,200. The property sold in October 2017 for $1 via quit claim deed, flagged by assessor filters as potentially non-arm's-length. No FEMA special flood hazard designation; First Street flood factor rating of 1.

• [ ] Clarify the 2017 quit-claim $1 sale: identify transferor/recipient relationship and intent
• [ ] Identify the developer and designer behind the new construction to verify project scope (unverified web coverage mentioned a design firm; not independently re-confirmed this pass)
