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-unit residential building at 820 W Wrightwood Ave, owned by Carol Lind, has been documented through various service requests over the past seven years, dating back to 1894 in the Sheffield & DePaul neighborhood. The most recent activity includes multiple closed service requests in 2025, with two separate rodent issues addressed in August, a snow-related sidewalk complaint in December, and concerns regarding garbage cart maintenance and blue recycling cart services in October and March 2026, respectively. Of notable concern is the water on street complaint from January 2026, which could indicate potential infrastructure issues. While the total number of service requests (25) suggests regular engagement with municipal services, it should be noted that this building's record shows a pattern of environmental maintenance issues, particularly in 2025, with multiple complaints regarding waste management and rodent problems.

Risk rating

How 820 W Wrightwood 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

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.
