Frame cottages and rehabs between Ashland and Damen

What East Village Homes Tend to Need

East Village sits between Ashland and Damen, south of Division Street, with blocks of frame workers’ cottages, brick two-flats and newer rehabs. Part of it is the East Village District, one of Chicago’s designated landmark districts.

Many of the cottages date from the late 1800s, built on narrow lots with small basements or raised first floors. Over the decades most were rehabbed, some several times.

That history means systems vary widely: original boilers in some homes, furnaces added during rehabs in others, and newer homes with forced air throughout.

Space is the constant constraint. Narrow side yards, small basements and neighbors close by shape where equipment can go.

Common Problems in East Village Homes

What small East Village homes bring to HVAC.

Ask a pro

Equipment in a crawlspace

Crawlspace furnaces are hard to service and replace. Sometimes moving equipment to a closet, or using ductless units, is the better long-term option.

↗

Condenser crammed into a gangway

Narrow side yards leave little room for airflow and service. Rear yards or roofs often work better for a replacement.

↗

Rehab with undersized ducts

Quick rehabs sometimes ran ducts too small for central air. Rooms at the end of long runs stay warm in summer.

Before you replace anything

Work in the East Village Landmark District

In the landmark district, exterior work is reviewed as part of the building permit. Equipment and vents visible from the street are generally not approved, so plan for rear placement.

Measure access first. In small cottages, the basement door and stairs often decide which furnace or water heater can go in.
