Initial analysis

The 27-unit residential building at 755 W Buena in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, owned by BUENA PL PROP LLC, is a century-old property constructed in 1910. The building has experienced two significant unresolved code violations as of June 2025, both stemming from complaint-driven inspections, which warrant particular attention given their open status. Over the past seven years, there have been 28 documented 311 service requests, primarily related to infrastructure and maintenance issues in the surrounding area. Most of these requests have been successfully resolved, including multiple street light-related problems in July 2025 (both a street light outage and pole damage), a street water issue in June 2025, a traffic signal malfunction in May 2025, and a rodent control concern in April 2025. While the number of service requests is notable, it's important to mention that these primarily involve public infrastructure matters rather than building-specific issues, with the exception of the rodent complaint which may have implications for building maintenance.

Risk rating

How 755 W Buena Chicago'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.

Neighborhood percentile
15thpercentile
