3127 N Racine Ave 1

The 4-unit residential building at 3127 N Racine Ave in Lake View, owned by Westward 360, was constructed in 1900 and has experienced a notable number of maintenance and infrastructure issues in recent years. The property has accumulated a total of 34 building violations and 98 service requests over the past seven years, indicating a concerning rate of maintenance problems. Most recently, between November 2025 and June 2026, there have been multiple issues including plumbing violations, sewer cleanings, inspections of the public way, and two tree trimming requests, though it's worth noting that the city has ceased accepting tree trim requests as of 2025. The building's maintenance history shows particular attention needed in plumbing and sewer systems, with three of the most recent service requests related to these critical infrastructure elements. The total number of building permits pulled in the past seven years stands at 8, which suggests some level of ongoing maintenance or improvement work is being undertaken, though the high number of violations and service requests could indicate reactive rather than preventative maintenance practices. While the building has been occupied for over a century, the recent clustering of service requests and violations related to water infrastructure systems and public safety elements warrants attention.
