2046 W Berteau Chicago

North Center, Chicago IL 60618 14183140200000 9 units · 1927

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 property at 2046 W Berteau in Chicago’s North Center neighborhood is a 9-unit residential building constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Hayes Properties Inc. The building's recent history (over the past seven years) shows relatively low activity with only two documented 311 service requests in the last three years: one related to finance parking code enforcement in May 2026, and another concerning an injured animal in May 2024. However, the building's overall compliance history raises some concerns, with a total of 22 building violations recorded over the same period. The owner has also reported one environmental enforcement case and one accompanying complaint. The property's maintenance and improvement records show limited activity, with only four building permits issued in the past seven years, which is notably low for a multi-unit residential property of this age. While the number of service requests on record is relatively low (316), it's important to note that this figure represents the total for all properties owned by Hayes Properties Inc., not just the Berteau building.

Risk rating

How 2046 W Berteau Chicago'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
