Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 1445 W Edgewater Ave in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, owned by Emmanuel A Anderson, has been standing since 1906. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of nine service requests filed through the 311 system, with the most recent being a water in basement complaint in January 2026, which could potentially indicate an ongoing moisture issue in the building. The other service requests during this period were relatively minor and diverse in nature, including a yard waste pick-up (July 2025), two incidents in October 2024 (a vicious animal complaint and an abandoned vehicle complaint), graffiti removal (September 2024), and an information-only call (November 2024). Looking further back in the building's history, there was one documented environmental complaint regarding air pollution dating back to August 2004. While the service requests don't indicate any persistent patterns of issues within the building itself, the recent water complaint merits attention as the most significant concern on record.

Risk rating

How 1445 W Edgewater Ave 2'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.
