Initial analysis

The property at 863 W Lill Ave Rear is a two-unit residential building located in the Sheffield & DePaul neighborhood, dating back to 1890 and currently owned by Marty Sandy. The building's recent service request history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only three documented 311 calls, all of which occurred in 2025. Of particular note, there were two separate dead animal pick-up requests in April and June of 2025, suggesting a concerning pattern regarding animal-related issues in the vicinity. The most recent service request, from August 2025, involved garbage cart maintenance. While the building's overall service request history is relatively limited, the specific nature and clustering of these recent 2025 requests warrant attention to potential environmental and sanitation conditions in the immediate area around the property.

Risk rating

How 863 W Lill Ave Rear'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

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.
