Logan Square, Chicago IL 60647 13363150560000 12 units · 2017

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 12-unit residential building at 1814 N California in the Logan Square neighborhood, owned by Stanislaw Pluta and constructed in 2017, has experienced several noteworthy issues over its seven-year history. The property has recorded a total of 22 building violations and 86 service requests through the 311 system since 2017, with the most recent service requests indicating some ongoing maintenance challenges. In the past year alone, there have been three inspection-related requests (in December 2025 and November 2024) and a no water complaint in January 2026, all of which have been closed. Additionally, there is an open request from April 2024 regarding tree planting, which suggests some interest in improving the property's exterior environment. While the building has experienced various service requests and violations over the years, it's worth noting that recent service requests have been relatively few in number, with only five total 311 requests in the past seven years, though this total may not capture all resident concerns if they were reported through other channels.

Risk rating

How 1814 N California'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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Location

Precise location is a proxy for area-level risk — some Chicago zip codes have systematically higher code-enforcement activity.

Property class (397)

Assessor class 397 — apartment / larger residential. The assessor's property-class code, which correlates with building type and the violation rates the model expects.
