Lake View, Chicago IL 60657 14292180070000 6 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 six-unit residential building at 833 W Wellington Ave in Lake View, owned by Savo & Mirjana Bakrac, is a 124-year-old structure that has had minimal documented issues over the past seven years. The building's documented service requests to the 311 system during this period total seven, with the most recent incidents occurring in early 2026, including two separate open fire hydrant complaints in February. The property has also experienced some typical urban maintenance issues, with tree trimming requests submitted in April and December 2025 (note that the city no longer accepts such requests), as well as a pothole complaint in the alley in May 2025. Additionally, there was a recorded graffiti removal request in May 2026. While these incidents show regular urban maintenance concerns rather than building-specific problems, the frequency of requests for external maintenance (tree trimming, graffiti removal) suggests ongoing attention to the property's immediate surroundings. However, it's worth noting that there are no recorded complaints or service requests related to the building's internal systems or residential units, which may indicate stable building conditions from a structural and maintenance perspective.

Risk rating

How 833 W Wellington 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.

Neighborhood percentile
39thpercentile
