Lakeview runs from Belmont up to Irving Park and west from the Lake Michigan curve at Sheridan Road to Ashland. Wrigleyville sits inside it on the east edge of Clark and Addison, Boys Town runs the Halsted strip from Belmont to Addison, and the courtyard six-flats and three-flat walk-ups fill the residential streets in between. Waley’s in-town crew works Lakeview five days a week out of the Milwaukee Avenue yard, with Belmont and Sheridan as the boundary the morning route is built against.
Courtyard Six-Flats and the Belmont-Sheridan Box
The brick courtyard six-flats off Wellington, Roscoe and Cornelia have the longest front-walk carry on the Waley in-town board — from the gated entry off the sidewalk across the interior courtyard to the unit door is usually sixty to ninety feet before the stair climb starts. Tony Pawlak’s crew chief sheet counts that walk before the binding flat figure leaves Eddy’s desk. Wrigleyville home-game days lock parking around Clark and Addison for half a mile in every direction, and Trish in dispatch keeps the Cubs schedule open on her second monitor whenever a Lakeview East booking comes in.
Lake-Effect Belt Winter on Sheridan Road
Sheridan Road and the Lakeview East courtyard buildings sit close enough to the lake that the December-through-March wind cuts twenty degrees colder than the Milwaukee Avenue yard does, and the salt-spread trucks run the side streets later than the West Side. Waley’s winter discipline lays salt-grit floor matting at the gated entry, the interior courtyard door and the unit door — not one mat at the curb. Predawn route walks check every walkway for black ice before the truck doors open. Waley is fully licensed and insured.

- Boys Town Halsted-strip permit-parking play with the Streets & San moving-truck reservation locked seventy-two hours ahead
- DePaul and Loyola off-campus lease window scheduled around the May 1 Chicago Lease Day push, not on top of it
- Lake-effect predawn walk-through for black ice on every Lakeview East courtyard load
A Lakeview Move Booked Out of Milwaukee Avenue on a Illinois-Signed Waley Flat
The Waley start rate sits at $185 an hour for two uniformed movers and the 26-ft straight truck. Whatever rate is published on this page is the rate Trish writes into the contract — the only invoice change comes from hours actually worked, not from a rate adjustment on the truck.
Days ahead of the truck pulling into Lakeview, Tony has the curb cut walked, the freight-elevator window booked at the Wicker Park mill loft, the storm-window timing noted, the salt-line floor matting staged, and the center-stair turn-in measured.
