That doesn't seem correct. Residential lots in urban chicago are typically around 25' wide, and the city is chock-full of 2 and 3 flats. It's the backbone housing typology of the entire city.

Our own 3-flat in Lincoln Square sits upon a 27' wide lot, so 40' is more than enough width to work with for this housing type.
