Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 1315 W Carmen Ave in the Uptown neighborhood is a century-old structure, built in 1902 and currently owned by 7292 W Devon LLC, which also holds three other parcels. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of 21 service requests and been subject to three building permits. The building has recorded five violations in the past seven years, though none appear to be currently active. The most recent service requests have primarily concerned tree maintenance, with three tree debris clean-up requests in 2025 and one tree removal inspection in 2024, all of which have been resolved. A sidewalk inspection request from June 2026 remains open, which could potentially impact pedestrian safety if it pertains to a hazardous condition. Additionally, there was one ice and snow removal request in December 2025, which was successfully closed. While the building has experienced some maintenance issues, particularly relating to tree management and seasonal weather challenges, the resolution of most service requests and the lack of active violations suggest a generally stable property management situation.

Risk rating

How 1315 W Carmen 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

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.
