5635 S Marshfield Ave 1

The two-unit residential building at 5635 S Marshfield Ave in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by NATIONWIDE REO LLC, was constructed in 1908 and has experienced several concerning events over the past seven years. Most notably, the property is currently listed with an open building code violation from July 2019, which remains unresolved as of October 2023. The building has been the subject of multiple 311 service requests in recent years, with five service requests recorded in 2026 alone, including sanitation code violations and vacant/abandoned building complaints. The property has a documented history of vacant building issues, with three such complaints filed between 2024 and 2026, and a cluster of violations from July 2016 indicating failure to secure and maintain a vacant building, as well as requirements for a watchman, though these violations were ultimately non-suited with no fines assessed. While the building has only one building permit on record in the past seven years and minimal overall violations and service requests relative to other properties, the recent pattern of vacant building complaints and an open building violation warrant attention, particularly as the most recent issues appear to have emerged in 2024-2026.
