AI summary

The four-unit residential building at 715 W Buena Ave in Uptown, owned by Patricia P Chan and constructed in 1957, has maintained a relatively low volume of service requests over the past seven years, with a total of 11 reports to the 311 system. While the total number of complaints is not particularly concerning, it's notable that between January and September 2025, there was a cluster of five tree-related service requests, including two tree trim requests and one tree emergency. All three of these tree-related incidents occurred within a six-month period, which may suggest a temporary vegetation maintenance issue in the vicinity of the property. The most recent service request on record, from March 2026, concerned an abandoned vehicle complaint and has since been closed. Given the age of the building, it's worth noting that no building-specific complaints or violations have been reported through the 311 system during this period, which could be an indicator of proper maintenance and management practices.

Risk rating

How 715 W Buena 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.
