Ukrainian Village, Chicago IL 60622 16014280080000 5 units · 1908

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 5-unit, 1908 multi-family residential building at 839 N Rockwell St 2F in Chicago's Ukrainian Village neighborhood has had minimal documented activity over the past seven years. The property, currently owned by L M Lawrecki Dr 3730 0, has only one building permit filed during this period. Four service requests have been submitted through the city's 311 system, with the most recent two occurring on April 9, 2026, being information-only calls that were properly closed. Prior to these, there was a water lead test kit request in October 2024 and a sanitation code violation complaint in June 2024, both of which were resolved. The water lead test kit request is notable as it suggests proactive testing of water quality, though the outcome is not documented in the records. The sanitation code violation, which occurred nearly two years prior to the most recent service requests, indicates a past concern with building maintenance or upkeep, though it appears to have been addressed.

Risk rating

How 839 N Rockwell St 2F'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
24thpercentile
