Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1905 vintage residence at 1423 W Cuyler Ave 2 in Lake View, currently owned by Barbara Jenkins, has experienced an unusual spike in rodent-related issues over the past year, with six separate rodent baiting complaints filed between July and September 2025. The volume and recent clustering of these pest-related incidents, occurring within a three-month period, suggest a sustained infestation challenge in the immediate vicinity of the property. More recently, in April 2026, there was also a report of an abandoned vehicle in the area, though this issue was promptly addressed and marked as closed. While the building's record shows no other documented complaints or issues in the past seven years, the recent concentration of rodent-related service requests represents the most significant pattern on the building's current record.

Risk rating

How 1423 W Cuyler Ave 2'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.
