Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 1851 W Cuyler Ave in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by HOWL SERIES LLC 1851, has had a relatively low number of service requests over the past seven years, with only ten recorded incidents. The most recent service requests, all occurring between March and June 2026, have primarily concerned street maintenance issues, specifically three pothole complaints that have since been closed. Currently, there are two open service requests related to tree debris clean-up and one emergency tree-related incident from June 2026. Given the nature of these recent requests, the building's immediate environment appears to be experiencing some challenges with both street maintenance and tree-related issues in the vicinity, though these concerns seem to be primarily external to the building itself. The historical record shows no major building-specific issues or complaints in recent years, with the majority of service requests focusing on public infrastructure matters.

Risk rating

How 1851 W Cuyler Ave'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.
