Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The three-story, 8-unit residential building at 1712 W Ainslie in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood has a documented history dating back to its 1910 construction. The property is currently managed by Fairmont Property Management and has experienced several maintenance and compliance events over the past seven years. Most notably, a permit-related violation was recorded in September 2024, though this issue has since been resolved. The building has generated a total of 111 service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent cluster of issues occurring in 2026, including open requests for sidewalk inspection, street pothole complaints, and tree removal inspection, along with two closed finance parking code enforcement reviews. While the volume of service requests is significant, many are related to street and public space maintenance rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 1712 W Ainslie 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
50thpercentile
