Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1300 W Glenlake Avenue in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood is a century-old property, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Catherine Thornhill. Over the past seven years, the building has generated three documented 311 service requests, though none of these directly relate to the building's condition or habitability - they are all city infrastructure issues. The most recent request, logged in June 2026, concerns a pothole in the street and remains open as of the report date. Prior to this, in February 2025, there was a complaint about an abandoned vehicle in the vicinity, which has since been resolved. An earlier request from June 2024 concerning tree removal inspection was also closed, though it's important to note that tree-related issues generally pertain to municipal rather than building concerns. The relatively low number of service requests over this extended period, and the fact that none relate to the building's condition or services, suggests a stable property with minimal reported issues.

Risk rating

How 1300 W Glenlake 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

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.
