442 W Normal Chicago

The 24-unit residential building at 442 W Normal in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, constructed in 2003 and currently associated with an entity called "TAXPAYER OF," has experienced a notably high volume of documented incidents over the past seven years. The property has recorded an extraordinary total of 2,228 building violations and 3,731 service requests, though it's worth noting that 311 service requests may have included multiple reports for the same issue. Recent activity in 2026 has been particularly concerning, with an open plumbing violation as of May 2026, multiple animal-related incidents including two injured animal reports and a dead animal pick-up request in March 2026, and a vicious animal complaint in January 2026. The building's permit activity shows relatively minimal engagement with regulatory processes, with only two building permits issued in the past seven years compared to 338 permits associated with the owner's total holdings. Additionally, there have been 10 environmental enforcement actions and 33 environmental complaints linked to the owner's properties, along with three house share violations. While the property has a substantial number of documented incidents, many of these may not directly impact resident experience, as they include a range of service requests beyond typical building maintenance issues.
