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 multi-unit residential building at 815 W Wellington Ave in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood is a three-unit property constructed in 1893 and currently owned by Seymour Turner. Over the past seven years, the building has generated a total of eight service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent clustering of incidents occurring in 2025-2026. The majority of these requests have been related to environmental maintenance issues, including two recent tree-related service calls in June 2026, a snow-related sidewalk complaint and an ice removal request in early 2026, and a graffiti removal request in July 2025. One notable item is a tree trim request submitted in April 2025, though the system indicated this type of request was no longer being accepted. While the frequency of service requests is relatively low for a property of its age and size, they all pertain to standard maintenance issues rather than any structural or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 815 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
37thpercentile
