Sheffield & DePaul, Chicago IL 60614 14294200480000 11 units · 2021

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 11-unit residential building at 802 W Altgeld in Chicago's Sheffield & DePaul neighborhood, owned by 800 Altgeld LLC, was constructed in 2021 and has experienced relatively low service request activity considering its age and unit count. Over the past seven years, the building has generated a total of 18 service requests through the 311 system and secured 12 building permits. The most recent cluster of activity occurred in spring 2026, with multiple graffiti removal requests in May, a street light outage complaint in April, and an open water-related street complaint in April. Prior to this recent spate of service requests, the building's documented issues were minimal, though it is worth noting that all the recent disturbances involve external rather than internal building conditions. The building's permit history and earlier service requests are not detailed in the provided data, but their relatively low numbers over the seven-year period suggest stable maintenance patterns, at least up to the most recent incidents.

Risk rating

How 802 W Altgeld 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.

Neighborhood percentile
