What North Lawndale Homes Tend to Need

North Lawndale has one of the largest concentrations of greystones in Chicago, many built in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Douglass Park sits at its eastern edge, and Martin Luther King Jr. lived in an apartment on South Hamlin Avenue in 1966 during the Chicago Freedom Movement.

Greystones here are typically two- or three-flats, and many still heat with steam or hot-water boilers feeding cast iron radiators.

Some have been rehabbed with forced air and central AC; others keep their original radiators with window units for cooling.

With older equipment common, safety checks on boilers, furnaces and venting are an important part of fall service.

Common Problems in North Lawndale Homes

Typical calls in North Lawndale greystones.

Ask a pro

Steam boiler short of water

Steam boilers lose water through leaks in returns or vents. Low water shuts the boiler down. Finding the leak prevents repeat shutdowns.

↗

Radiators cold on the top floor

Steam reaches the top floor last. Failed main vents or radiator vents slow it down.

↗

Chimney venting problems

Old chimneys serving a boiler and water heater can deteriorate. Venting should be checked on every replacement.

Keeping Greystone Heat Running in North Lawndale

Steam systems reward small fixes: new main vents, correct water level and pressure settings often improve comfort throughout the building.

When rehabbing a greystone, decide early whether to keep the radiators and add ductless cooling, or convert to forced air.
