Initial analysis

The three-unit, 1927 vintage building at 1657 W Hollywood Ave in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, currently owned by Anna M Crane, has experienced relatively minimal building code violations over the past seven years, with only two documented cases: one from April 2025 that was resolved, and a prior one from October 2019 that remains unresolved. The property has generated a total of 36 service requests through the 311 system in recent years, with a noticeable concentration on yard maintenance issues, particularly yard waste pick-up requests, which accounted for at least six documented requests between late 2025 and early 2026, with some still currently open. Additional environmental service requests include two recently logged requests for tree-related services in 2026, one for planting (open) and another (closed) that was completed relatively quickly. While the building's violation record is not extensive, the presence of an unresolved building code issue from 2019 and the high volume of waste management requests could be considered noteworthy for prospective tenants evaluating the property's maintenance history.

Risk rating

How 1657 W Hollywood Ave 01'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.
