Unlock complete reportThe three-unit residential building at 821 W Oakdale Ave in the Lake View neighborhood, currently owned by VAEZ REALTY GROUP LLC, is a 1887 construction that has experienced relatively few documented issues over the past seven years. The building has one open building code violation recorded in January 2026, which appears to be the only violation on record during this period. While the owner group has a total of 23 service requests on record over the last seven years, most of these seem to pertain to exterior maintenance issues rather than internal building conditions. In early 2025, there were multiple tree-related service requests (three tree trim requests and one tree removal inspection request) made simultaneously, suggesting coordinated attention to exterior greenery. Other infrastructure-related requests included a water lead test kit request in September 2024 and a street pothole complaint in July 2024, both of which have been resolved. The relatively limited number of building violations and varied nature of service requests, which primarily focus on exterior maintenance and street-related issues, indicates that most resident concerns are being addressed through appropriate channels, though the single open building code violation from January 2026 warrants attention.
