Local housing stock
Over four fifths of the housing here predates 1990 — 78.6 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1967. Frame and brick on full basements, a 1967 median with 79 percent standing before 1990, split between the lake bluff and the harbor industrial terrace, with almost none of it detailed for a slip that still holds water.
Climate & seasonal risk
Waukegan averages 35.3 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at CHICAGO WAUKEGAN RGNL AP 3.3 miles away, with June the wettest month at 4.45 inches. June's 4.45 inches is the peak of a 35.3 inch year at Waukegan's own airport. The same lake is a bluff that weeps and a harbor slip of industrial fill, and a 1967 cellar on that slip takes June through ground the cleanup never replaced.
Common moisture and mold problems in Waukegan

- Lake bluff houses weeping the downhill wall after a June cell while the harbor is still in its box
