Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 1223 W North Shore Avenue in Rogers Park, owned by LBK Florida LLC, was constructed in 1942 and has experienced several noteworthy events in recent years. Most concerning are three unresolved complaint-driven building code violations recorded in March 2026, which are currently still open as of the latest available data in October 2023. The building has generated a total of 13 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent requests occurring throughout 2025 and into 2026. These service requests include various municipal issues such as fly dumping (June 2026), graffiti removal (February 2026), street potholes (January 2026), and several tree trimming requests (December 2025) - the latter being particularly notable as the city has ceased accepting such requests. Additionally, there was a yard waste pick-up request in December 2025, and all these service requests have been marked as closed, except for the most recent violations.

Risk rating

How 1223 W North Shore Ave'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
