Initial analysis

The Oasis of Bucktown, located at 1714 N Western in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood, is a modern 60-unit residential building that was constructed in 2021. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of 31 building permits and 27 service requests through the 311 system. More concerning is the recent cluster of issues in late 2025 through mid-2026, with six service requests documented between November 2025 and June 2026, including multiple traffic signal outages and a snow-clearing complaint. The building's service request history shows recurring issues with infrastructure reliability in the surrounding area, particularly regarding traffic signals, with three separate complaints about malfunctioning signals in late 2025 and early 2026. Other external maintenance concerns have been reported as well, including a fly dumping incident, graffiti that required removal, and a complaint about uncleared snow on sidewalks, all of which were addressed and closed by city services. While the building itself is relatively new, having been completed in 2021, the service request data suggests ongoing challenges with both the immediate vicinity and city services response times to various maintenance and safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 1714 N Western 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

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

Grade C — Moderate risk

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

Grade D–F — High risk

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