Initial analysis

The five-unit residential building at 1634 W Addison Street in Lake View, constructed in 1896, has had a relatively stable recorded history over the past seven years. The property experienced two building code violations in June 2022, both of which were resolved, marking the most significant regulatory issues in recent years. Permit activity has been minimal, with only one building permit filed during this period. The building's service request history shows a recent cluster of activities in 2025, primarily related to maintenance concerns, including three tree trimming requests and three graffiti removal requests, all of which have been resolved except for one water lead test kit request from September 2025 that remains open. The property has maintained a reasonable balance in its service request and violation history, with slightly more service requests (17 total) than documented violations, though many of these requests relate to routine maintenance rather than urgent structural or safety issues.

Risk rating

How 1634 W Addison 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

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.
