Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1341 W Foster Ave, located in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, is an 1898 structure with a relatively clean record of building violations and permits over the past seven years. According to the Chicago Master Building Record, the property has incurred only one documented building violation during this period, which occurred in April 2021 and was related to a permit inspection; however, this violation has been resolved and marked as complied. The building's permit activity over the same timeframe shows a total of three permits issued, indicating some level of maintenance or improvements has been conducted under proper authorization. Both the limited number of violations and the prompt resolution of the one recorded infraction suggest reasonably attentive property management, though prospective tenants should be aware that the building is over 120 years old and any recent changes to building systems or amenities may not be fully documented in this summary.

Risk rating

How 1341 W Foster 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.
