900 W Belle Plaine Chicago

The 18-unit, 1908 vintage building at 900 W Belle Plaine in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood has experienced notable challenges in its recent history, with the most pressing being a series of unresolved building code violations documented in April 2025, all categorized as complaint-driven inspections. The property has maintained a significant record of 14 building violations and 40 service requests over the past seven years, indicating ongoing maintenance and compliance issues. Most recently, in 2026, there have been multiple service requests including two open sidewalk inspection requests and a sanitation code violation, though several other requests for services such as dead animal pick-up and graffiti removal have been successfully closed. The building's historical records also show a pattern of noise complaints between 2002 and 2007, suggesting past occupancy-related disturbances, though these issues appear to be from an earlier era relative to the current complaints. While there has been only one building permit recorded in the past seven years, the sustained number of violations and service requests points to a property requiring ongoing attention to basic maintenance and regulatory compliance.
