Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 1449 W Rascher Ave in Andersonville, owned by Richard Eddington, was constructed in 1916 and has experienced relatively few documented issues or permit needs over the past seven years. The property has generated a total of 20 service requests through the 311 system during this period, with the most recent cluster of three tree emergency reports being filed in June 2026. Other notable service requests include a pothole complaint in February 2026, a water lead test kit request in early February 2026, and a garbage cart maintenance issue in November 2025. The building's permit activity has been minimal, with only two permits recorded in the same seven-year timeframe, suggesting either limited required maintenance or improvements during this period. While the concentration of service requests in early 2026 is noteworthy, most of these issues appear to be routine municipal concerns rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 1449 W Rascher Ave'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.
