Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2016 W Giddings St in Lincoln Square, owned by Gregory G Warren, has experienced a notable number of service requests over the past seven years, totaling 19. Most concerning are several recent open cases from 2026, including a rat complaint requiring rodent baiting and issues with garbage and blue recycling cart maintenance, though some matters have been resolved, including three parking code enforcement reviews completed in May 2026. The building's maintenance record shows minimal permitted work, with only two building permits issued in the past seven years, suggesting either limited improvements or perhaps underutilization of available modernization opportunities. Given the age of the structure, built in 1908, and its relatively small size, the concentration of recent service requests and open cases in 2026 indicates there may be ongoing challenges with waste management and pest control in the vicinity, though it's important to note that not all service requests necessarily reflect directly on the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 2016 W Giddings St'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.
