Equipment visible from the street is usually not approved in landmark districts. Rear yards, gangways and roofs are the typical locations.
In districts such as the Mid-North and the Old Town Triangle, permits for exterior work are reviewed by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, and outdoor units or vents visible from the street are usually not accepted. Plan rear or roof locations from the start.
Tight rear yards and shared walls also limit where equipment can go. Settling locations before the estimate avoids redesigns and permit delays.
