Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 2006 W Hutchinson St in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, owned by Suzanne Potthast, has a documented history dating back to its 1911 construction. The property has experienced several maintenance and quality-of-life issues in recent years, with a total of 13 service requests recorded by the owner between 2016 and 2023. Notably, there has been a recent cluster of graffiti-related problems, with three separate removal requests logged between May and August 2024. Additionally, the street conditions around the building have been a concern, with a water on street complaint in April 2026, a pothole complaint in March 2025, and a garbage cart maintenance issue in August 2024. The property's environmental record shows two enforcement actions and two complaints over the past seven years, though the specific nature and outcomes of these incidents are not detailed in the available data. While the building has received regular attention through 311 service requests, the pattern of graffiti and street maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with exterior maintenance and neighborhood conditions.

Risk rating

How 2006 W Hutchinson St 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.

Neighborhood percentile
58thpercentile

Out of 2652 buildings in this neighborhood, 1114 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
