Initial analysis

The 37-unit residential building at 1700 W Albion in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood, managed by 1700 W ALBION LLC, was constructed in 1924 and has maintained a largely stable record over the past several years. The property has one outstanding building code violation recorded in May 2023 related to a periodic routine inspection, which remains unresolved as of October 2023. The building's service history shows a pattern of external maintenance and environmental concerns, with three street light outages reported in March 2026, two street cleaning requests in the same period, and a fly dumping complaint in February 2026, all of which have been resolved. The property has also undergone recent water quality testing, with a water lead test kit request logged as open in November 2025, which warrants attention given the potential health implications. An air pollution complaint filed in September 2025 was resolved within two days. While the building has had minimal violations and complaints relative to its size, the nature of these issues - particularly the water lead testing and outstanding inspection violation - suggests ongoing monitoring of building maintenance and environmental conditions may be prudent.

Risk rating

How 1700 W Albion Chicago's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
18thpercentile
