1858 W Touhy Ave

The two-unit building at 1858 W Touhy Ave in Rogers Park, owned by Steven L Ragusi, has been in operation since 1903 and has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over the years. Most notably, there was a cluster of administrative violations in September 2007, resulting in four code violations with $300 fines each, though these were later closed with at least one marked as "L" (likely indicating a reduced penalty or compliance status). The property has shown recent activity in 2025-2026, with multiple sidewalk-related concerns currently under review, including open requests for sidewalk inspections and previous issues with uncleared snow and weeds, suggesting ongoing external maintenance challenges. A 2017 air pollution complaint was investigated but no violations were found, while a 2006 asbestos work order and noise complaint from 2007 represent earlier environmental and resident experience concerns, though the latter's violation statuses were marked "N" (not sufficient) and were closed. The relatively small number of documented service requests over the past seven years (10 total) could indicate either limited issues or potentially underreported problems, though without direct comparison to similar buildings, no definitive conclusions can be drawn about the property's overall condition or management responsiveness.
