Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 10-unit, 1928 building at 1529 W Hollywood in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, owned by 1529 W Hollywood LLC, has experienced several notable incidents over the past few years, with particular attention warranted to recent water quality concerns. Three consecutive water lead test kit requests were submitted between July and September 2025, all of which remain open as of the current date, suggesting ongoing concerns about water quality that have not been resolved. Additionally, during early 2026, there were three separate graffiti-related incidents, with two reported in February and one in March, all of which have been properly addressed and closed through the Streets and Sanitation department. The building's 311 service request history over the past seven years shows a total of 13 documented cases, though many of these appear to be minor issues that have been addressed. While the building has experienced various maintenance and sanitation matters typical of urban properties, the persistent nature of the water lead test kit requests stands out as the most significant current concern impacting resident safety and quality of life.

Risk rating

How 1529 W Hollywood 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
37thpercentile

Out of 1377 buildings in this neighborhood, 868 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Property class (211)

Assessor class 211 — small residential (roughly 2–6 units). The assessor's property-class code, which correlates with building type and the violation rates the model expects.

Location

Precise location is a proxy for area-level risk — some Chicago zip codes have systematically higher code-enforcement activity.
