Two-flats and churches around Chicago Avenue

What Ukrainian Village Homes Tend to Need

Ukrainian Village grew around St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral and the other domed churches near Chicago Avenue, and the community’s institutions still anchor the neighborhood.

Its residential blocks are mostly brick two-flats, three-flats and workers’ cottages from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Part of the neighborhood is the Ukrainian Village District, designated a Chicago Landmark in 2002 and extended in 2005 and 2007.

Two-flats here frequently share one boiler, or have been split into separate furnaces in the basement. Cottages tend to have small, low basements with limited room for equipment.

Cooling has mostly been added unit by unit: window units first, then ductless systems for owners and landlords who want something quieter and more efficient.

Common Problems in Ukrainian Village Homes

Typical calls in Ukrainian Village buildings.

Ask a pro
01

Top unit warm, garden unit cold

A shared boiler often favors the upper unit. Balancing valves and zone controls bring the lower unit up without overheating the top.

↗
02

Cottage furnace replacement with tight access

Low basement doors and narrow stairs limit what can be carried in. Compact furnaces are often the right choice.

↗
03

Chimney problems after a furnace upgrade

If one appliance moves to side-wall venting, the remaining water heater may not draft well in the old chimney. A liner can be needed.

Before you replace anything

Work in the Ukrainian Village Landmark District

Exterior changes in the district are reviewed by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks as part of the permit. Condensers and new vents should go at the rear or on the roof, out of view from the street.

For two-flats, think about both units before replacing equipment. Coordinated work on shared systems saves a second round of permits and disruption.
