Initial analysis

The three-unit, 1908 vintage building at 1649 W Winona Street in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, currently owned by Casandra Bungert, has maintained relatively low incident levels over the past seven years, with only one building code violation recorded during this period. This violation, noted in July 2022, pertained to a permit-related inspection but has since been resolved. The property has generated minimal 311 service requests, totaling two in recent years: a complaint about an abandoned vehicle in September 2025 (which has been closed) and an open request from August 2025 for a water lead test kit. While the building has required two building permits in the past seven years, the relatively low frequency of violations and service requests suggests stable maintenance levels, though the recent water lead test kit request indicates potential water quality monitoring concerns warranting attention.

Risk rating

How 1649 W Winona 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.
