Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1437 W Warner Ave in Lake View, built in 1898 and currently owned by Michael Welsh, has experienced a series of notable issues in 2026. The most recent documented concerns involve two identical tree debris clean-up requests filed on June 12, which remain open as of the latest update. Earlier in the year, there were infrastructure-related incidents including a closed water complaint on the street (June 11), a sewer cave-in inspection request (April), and two snow-related issues with uncleared sidewalks (January 16 and January 30), all of which have been resolved. The property has maintained a relatively low number of complaints over the past seven years, with a total of nine service requests, though the concentration of recent winter weather-related issues and ongoing tree debris concerns may warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 1437 W Warner Ave 1'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.
