The neighborhood sits in ADU Pilot Program Zone 1 (North Zone, one of five pilot zones citywide) — which means basement and garage ADU conversions are permitted by-right rather than through the Special-Use process.
Because Lincoln Park's 1890-1920 greystones have original party walls with adjacent buildings, a kitchen gut often surfaces legacy party-wall penetrations that weren't legalized — a CDOB legalization filing adds $3K-$8K to the budget.

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.
