5356 N Sheridan (Wing Hoe) Demolition Update

The Department of Buildings (DOB) has started to demolish 5356 N. Sheridan Rd at our office’s request. Since the last fire, the building has been a hazard to the community. We met with the building owners, directing them to board up the windows and remove other safety hazards. We have worked closely with our colleagues in Streets and San to do clean-ups of the public way. Ultimately, to fully remove the hazard, the building needed to come down.

Construction is expected to begin later this year on a new 50-unit residential building. The project went through the community process years ago, and we look forward to seeing it through to fruition. Thank you to the community for your continued engagement on this issue.
