Edgewater, Chicago IL 60660 14053110260000 6 units · 1913

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 six-unit residential building at 1516 W Victoria St in Edgewater, owned by Janson & Mcguan, is a 1913 structure that has generated 16 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years. The most recent recorded service requests include an open water lead test kit request in August 2025, which presents a notable health and safety concern if not addressed, and a yard waste pick-up request from April 2026. The building has experienced several maintenance and environmental issues in 2025, including two abandoned vehicle complaints (February and March), tree debris clean-up needs (June), and periodic municipal service requests like yard waste removal. While most of these service requests have been resolved (as indicated by their closed status), the outstanding water lead test kit request warrants attention as it relates to water quality and resident safety. The distribution of service requests suggests a pattern of environmental and maintenance issues, though none of the reported incidents appear to indicate any immediate safety threats to residents.

Risk rating

How 1516 W Victoria St'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.
