Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 5-unit building at 3502 N Sheffield Ave in Wrigleyville, owned by Lakeview Chicago LLC, has experienced several maintenance-related incidents over the past year, with a particularly concentrated period of issues between January and April 2026. During this timeframe, there were two separate leak-related investigations in January, followed by a water-on-street complaint. The property then encountered street infrastructure issues in April, with a pothole complaint, and a street light outage in May, all of which have since been resolved according to city records. While the building itself has maintained a relatively low number of complaints overall (16 in the past seven years), the most recent cluster of water-related issues in January 2026 could suggest temporary plumbing or drainage challenges. The property, constructed in 1895, has a long history in the Wrigleyville neighborhood, though the records do not indicate any other recurring patterns or significant safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 3502 N Sheffield Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
