1836 N Orleans Chicago

The 12-unit residential building at 1836 N Orleans in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood is a historic structure dating back to 1900, currently owned by Thomas C Eley. The building's record over the past seven years shows relatively few major issues, with only two building violations recorded. However, the property has experienced a high volume of service requests, totaling 77, which is notably above average for a building of this size. The majority of these recent requests (three within a week in June 2026) were related to tree trimming, though it should be noted that this category is no longer being accepted through the 311 system. Other recent service requests include a dead bird report in April 2026 and a stray animal complaint in May 2025. The building has undergone minimal permitted work during this period, with only two building permits pulled. While the relatively low number of building violations and specific complaints suggests general maintenance compliance, the high volume of service requests, including those outside the typical scope of building-related issues, may indicate an active engagement with city services rather than reflecting on the building's condition itself.
