Unlock complete reportThe 1472 W Foster Ave 1 property is a two-unit residential building located in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by 1472 WEST FOSTER LLC. The building's recent service history shows a relatively modest number of 311 service requests over the past seven years, totaling 11 complaints or service requests. The most recent activity includes an open request for a water lead test kit from August 2025, which may be of particular concern to current and prospective residents. Other recent issues that have been addressed include an alley pothole complaint, graffiti removal, and a street light outage, all of which have been closed. The property has also submitted two closed requests for tree trimming in August 2025, though it's worth noting that such requests are no longer being accepted. While the total number of service requests is not excessively high for a building of its age, the presence of a lead testing request and the relatively recent multiple tree trim requests are notable among the building's recent service history.

How 1472 W Foster Ave 1'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.
Out of 680 buildings in this neighborhood, 360 are predicted to be safer.
