Initial analysis

The three-story building at 1136 W Wilson Avenue in Uptown, constructed in 1913, is currently managed by 1140 W Wilson Flats LLC and has experienced a series of concerning issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are two unresolved building code violations from 2023 and 2026 that warrant attention. The property has generated a significant number of 311 service requests, with 46 being filed in the past seven years, including a particularly concerning open fly dumping complaint from June 2026. While some issues have been addressed, as evidenced by the closure of multiple graffiti removal requests in June 2026, the frequency of recent service requests and ongoing violations suggests an active pattern of maintenance and safety concerns. The building's permit history shows minimal activity with only three permits filed in the past seven years, including one in 2026, which represents limited documented investment in the property's upkeep or improvements. An environmental complaint regarding air pollution from 2020 was investigated but resulted in no confirmed violations.

Risk rating

How 1136 W Wilson'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
16thpercentile
