Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1346 W Winona Street in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, owned by Dan Shaffer, has a century-long history dating back to 1901. In recent years, the property has experienced some notable issues requiring attention. Most concerning is an unresolved building code violation from January 2022, while another complaint-driven violation from the same period was successfully resolved. The building has generated multiple maintenance concerns, particularly in mid-2024, when residents reported four separate instances of water leak concerns in close succession, followed by a complaint about low water pressure. More recently, in May 2025, there have been two tree planting requests associated with the property, though one remains unresolved. The building's history also shows a single environmental complaint related to construction and demolition in 2014, which was investigated but no violation was found. The property has had relatively few major issues when considering the seven-year record, with just two building violations and 17 service requests in total, though the recent cluster of water-related complaints in mid-2024 and the current outstanding tree planting issue warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 1346 W Winona St 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

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.
