1629 W Granville Ave

The three-unit residential building at 1629 W Granville Avenue in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, owned by Richard Flinn, has a significant and concerning pattern of building code violations and service requests over recent years. Most notably, there is an alarming cluster of unresolved complaint-driven violations recorded on May 5, 2026, representing multiple instances of potentially serious issues that remain open. The building has also experienced a series of sanitation and construction-related problems, with six documented 311 service requests between January and April 2026, though these have all been marked as closed. These issues included violations related to building permits and construction work, sanitation code compliance, and porch safety inspections. The property, constructed in 1919, has accumulated nine building violations and fourteen service requests over the past seven years, though the records indicate that most of these were resolved, with the exception of the recent cluster of unresolved violations in 2026. The frequency and nature of these recent violations, particularly the unresolved status of multiple complaint-driven inspections, suggest ongoing compliance and maintenance challenges at the property, with particular attention needed to the most recent building code violations and their potential impact on resident safety and comfort.
