Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1430 W Belle Plaine Ave in Lake View, constructed in 1923 and currently owned by Ellen Louise Romano Trust, has had a modest number of service requests over the past seven years, totaling 11. The most recent request, as of April 2026, is related to sewer cleaning inspection needs, indicating ongoing infrastructure maintenance requirements. The property has experienced several environmental and infrastructure challenges between 2024-2025, including a rodent issue and a missed garbage pickup in August 2025, both of which have since been resolved. Other notable incidents include tree-related emergencies and cleanup needs in September 2024 and June 2025 respectively, though these were also addressed. A street lighting issue reported in September 2024 has been recorded as resolved. While the total number of service requests is relatively low for a two-unit building, the varied nature of these issues suggests periodic maintenance and environmental challenges in the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 1430 W Belle Plaine 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.
