3729 N MARSHFIELD AVE 2, CHICAGO, IL 60613

Overview

Built in 2014 as part of a teardown-and-rebuild project, this 4-bedroom, 3,201 sqft single-family residence sits in the Lake View neighborhood (Ward 47, ZIP 60613) per assessor parcel records. A July 2014 demolition permit documents removal of a prior two-story frame residence and detached frame garage; a new construction permit issued two days earlier authorized a two-story frame single-family residence with full basement and a 2-car garage with roof deck, at a reported cost of $500,000. Property characteristics include masonry exterior, a full basement with formal recreation room, central A/C, and a warm air furnace. The most recent transaction on record is an April 2016 sale at $1,795,000. In May 2026, an express permit was issued for roof replacement covering 2,200 sq ft of built-up roofing at a reported cost of $58,700. No building violations appear in the record. The property carries CPS elementary (Blaine) and secondary (Lake View HS) school assignments and is not in a FEMA-designated flood hazard area.

Open questions

• [ ] Confirm demolition and new construction permits align with title and sales history, particularly the 2014-2015 timing gap
• [ ] Verify May 2026 roof scope details against permit drawings and inspector reports
• [ ] Check for any subsequent permits or violations filed after May 2026
• [ ] Reconcile the assessor's residence_type classification ("3 Story +") with the 2014 new-construction permit's "TWO STORY" description — this discrepancy is unresolved in current data and should not be treated as settled fact
• [ ] Reconcile "year built 2014" with the assessor data year (2026) to ensure no subsequent reconstruction or major alterations went unrecorded
• [ ] Compare recent comparable sales (post-2016) in Lake View to validate the implied market value of roughly $1.89M (assessed value × 10, per Cook County class 2 residential methodology)
• [ ] Review full sales history pre-2006 to document original construction, demolition trigger, and ownership chain
• [ ] Confirm whether the property lies within any Chicago historic district (not independently re-verified this pass)
