Unlock complete reportThe three-unit residential building at 1937 W 69th Street in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Paul Smith Jr., has been standing since 1923 and has experienced several notable issues over the past seven years. Most concerning are four unresolved building code violations from October 30, 2019, which stemmed from complaint-driven inspections. While the building has only had one building permit issued during this period, there have been multiple service requests, though many appear to be unrelated to building conditions. The most recent activity includes three abandoned vehicle complaints (in 2024 and 2025) and a weed removal request in mid-2025. Two other service requests - one for water lead test kits in August 2024 and one filed for information purposes in December 2024 - are likely more directly related to the building itself, suggesting some engagement with environmental health concerns. The concentration of violations and unresolved status from 2019 merits attention, though it's worth noting that many of the 311 service requests are for issues in or around the building rather than problems with the structure itself.
