Initial analysis

The 100-unit residential building at 732 W Bittersweet in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, constructed in 1943, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over the past seven years, with a total of 25 building violations recorded. The most concerning of these is an open complaint-driven inspection violation from June 2021, which remains unresolved as of the latest data. The property has also generated 37 311 service requests during this period, with the most recent activity in 2026 including multiple building violations and a water street complaint, with at least one violation remaining open. In 2020, the building underwent several permit-related inspections, with five violations identified, though all were resolved. In addition to these recent issues, historical records show environmental concerns in the form of an asbestos work order complaint in 2005 and a noise complaint in 1998. The building's relatively low number of permits issued (only 2 in the past seven years) compared to the number of violations and service requests could indicate underinvestment in property maintenance and improvements. A single house share prohibition violation is also on record, though the details of this incident are not specified in the available data.

Risk rating

How 732 W Bittersweet 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

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.
