The Humboldt Park Boulevard National Register District (1985) protects the grand boulevard streetscape but not individual building exteriors — an exterior kitchen-addition visible from the boulevard requires conformance review but not Landmark COA.
Because Humboldt Park's 1900-1910 greystones typically share party walls with adjacent buildings (often converted multi-family), kitchen renovations routinely surface unpermitted party-wall penetrations — a legalization filing adds 4-8 weeks.

Who is Baily?
Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.
He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.
That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.
Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
