Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1759 W Ainslie St, located in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, is a historic property dating back to 1899 and currently owned by Michael J. Leon. The building's documented service request history over the past seven years shows relatively minimal activity, with only three reported issues. Most recently, there is an open request from May 2026 regarding a tree removal inspection, which signifies an ongoing concern. Prior to this, there was a closed service request from February 2026 related to garbage cart maintenance, and an additional closed complaint from July 2025 regarding an alley light outage, which was addressed by the Chicago Department of Transportation. The limited number of service requests over this period, totaling just three, suggests relatively few maintenance or service issues compared to typical residential buildings, though it's worth noting that one of these requests remains unresolved as of the latest records available.

Risk rating

How 1759 W Ainslie 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.
