1824 W Hood Ave 1

The two-unit residential building at 1824 W Hood Ave in West Ridge, owned by Sam Baker, has experienced several notable events throughout its documented history. Most concerning is a cluster of water-related issues in the summer of 2025, with two separate water-in-basement complaints filed in August and September, along with a sewer cleaning inspection request in July of that same year. These recurring water-related problems suggest potential infrastructure challenges within the property. The building, constructed in 1916, also experienced some environmental disturbances in 2005, when three noise complaints were filed within a three-month period, resulting in an administrative hearing and a $100 fine for a violation of city code 11-4-1120 on August 31, 2005. More recently, in April 2026, there was a stray animal complaint reported to city services, though this incident appears to have been resolved promptly. Other service requests in the past seven years have included a garbage cart maintenance issue and a 311 information-only call, both of which were properly addressed and closed. While the building has had its share of maintenance and compliance issues over the years, the majority of recent complaints have been resolved through proper channels.
