Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 1624 W Belmont Ave in Lake View, owned by Young S Ahn, has been standing since 1912 and has experienced a variety of maintenance and service issues over the past seven years. The property has two recorded building violations, including an unresolved complaint-driven inspection from June 2020 and a resolved permit-related inspection from December 2025. The building has generated a total of 11 311 service requests in this period, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026. Recent service requests primarily focused on external maintenance issues, including three snow-related complaints (December 2025 and January 2026), a graffiti removal request (June 2026), an alley pothole complaint (November 2025), and a fly dumping complaint (September 2025). The concentration of recent service requests related to snow removal and external maintenance suggests ongoing challenges with property upkeep, though all reported issues have been addressed as of their respective closure dates.

Risk rating

How 1624 W Belmont 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

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
14thpercentile

Out of 3452 buildings in this neighborhood, 2969 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
