What was permitted
Homeowners and property managers in the Near North Side neighborhood can observe the permitting of temporary scaffolding for a large-scale project. This permit covers three sections of scaffolding, with a maximum length of 165 feet and a height of 300 feet, to be used on all exterior facade elevations.
This scaffolding permit is active and was issued on June 23, 2026, valid for 365 days. The permit fee was $450, and the actual project cost for the scaffolding rental and installation would be a separate, often substantial, expense estimated by the contractor, THE W. J. MC GUIRE COMPANY.
