3335 N Sheffield Chicago

Lake View, Chicago IL 60657 14204180120000 10 units · 2023

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 newly constructed 10-unit building at 3335 N Sheffield in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, owned by Adam Steinberg, was completed in 2023 and has had minimal documented service requests and permits since its completion. Over the past seven years, there have been only 9 service requests recorded through the 311 system, with the most recent being an open water lead test kit request from July 2024, which is particularly noteworthy given the health implications associated with lead contamination. Other service requests have included routine matters such as a missed garbage pick-up complaint in March 2025, a sign repair request in March 2025, and two parking code enforcement reviews in September 2024, all of which have been appropriately closed. The building's permit history shows only four permits have been issued in the past seven years, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the data provided. While the relatively low number of service requests and permits might suggest a well-maintained property, the recent water lead test request warrants attention as the sole open service request on record.

Risk rating

How 3335 N Sheffield Chicago'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.

Neighborhood percentile
