Initial analysis

The three-story residential building at 1400 W Edgewater, owned by John Supera, has been standing in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood since 1925. The property has generated a total of 60 service requests over the past seven years, with 32 of those being specifically related to the building itself. The most recent cluster of issues in early 2026 indicates ongoing concerns in the immediate vicinity, including traffic signal problems, street maintenance needs such as potholes, and infrastructure maintenance like sign repairs and snow removal from protected bike lanes. Of particular note is the property's limited record of building permits during this period, with only one permit issued, which could suggest minimal ongoing maintenance or improvements to the structure itself. The street-related service requests, while not directly affecting the building's condition, indicate some challenges in the immediate neighborhood environment that residents might encounter regularly.

Risk rating

How 1400 W Edgewater'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.
