Lake View, Chicago IL 60657 14292040360000 12 units · 1899

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 three-story, 12-unit residential building at 860 W Fletcher in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood is a historic structure dating back to 1899, currently owned by Clark Maxfield. The property has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past seven years, with a particular cluster of problems occurring in 2025. During that year alone, there were multiple tree-related concerns, including two trim requests in June and July (though these requests are no longer being accepted), and a clean-up request for tree debris in June. Additionally, there were two documented rodent-related issues, with reports of rat activity and requests for baiting in May and August. The building's service history also includes one instance of dead animal removal in October 2025. While all documented 311 service requests have been closed, the frequency and nature of these incidents suggest ongoing maintenance challenges in the surrounding area, particularly related to vegetation management and pest control during 2025.

Risk rating

How 860 W Fletcher 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.
