836 N Milwaukee Chicago

The six-unit residential building at 836 N Milwaukee in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, owned by 836 N Milwaukee LLC, has a history spanning several decades since its construction in 1906. In recent years, from 2025 to 2026, there have been multiple service requests primarily related to graffiti removal (three instances), a pothole complaint, and a consumer fraud complaint, all of which have been successfully closed. Looking further back, the building experienced notable environmental challenges in 2007, with six documented air pollution complaints between May and August of that year, resulting in two administrative violations on July 31 that carried $300 fines each for code violations under sections 7-28-080 and 11-4-630. The building's earlier history includes similar environmental enforcement actions from 1993, with two additional violations on April 22 under the same codes, though it's worth noting that the nature of these violations might have been relevant to the environmental context of that era. While the most recent concerns appear more related to surface issues like graffiti rather than structural or environmental problems, the building's record shows a pattern of air quality-related complaints and code violations during 1993 and 2007 that could suggest these were historical challenges for the property.
