1206 W 52Nd St

The two-unit residential building at 1206 W 52nd St in Chicago's New City neighborhood, owned by A Herrara, has a notable history dating back to its construction in 1924. The most recent incident was a street light outage reported in December 2024, which was subsequently resolved, marking the only 311 service request on record for the property in the past seven years. However, the building's maintenance history shows significant concerns in 2011, when multiple violations were issued concerning the property's vacant status. The city cited violations related to the duty to secure and maintain the vacant building, as well as requirements for watchman presence, with fines totaling $11,500 across six separate citations, though some were dismissed or resulted in not liable findings. While these violations appeared in clusters on the same date (November 9, 2011), and included various dispositions such as defaults and dismissals for lack of prosecution, their cumulative effect suggests serious prior concerns about property maintenance and security during that period. Since 2011, there have been no recorded vacant/abandoned building violations, and the minimal recent service requests might indicate improved management, though the historical record shows a period of significant regulatory scrutiny that potential tenants should be aware of.
