Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1512 W Byron Street in Lake View, owned by Maria Mocuta, has been in existence since 1898 and has had minimal documented service requests over the past seven years, with a total of 12 unique incidents. The most recent activity, in 2025, includes multiple environmental and safety-related incidents, with three separate fly dumping complaints and coyote interaction complaints occurring within a six-month period. The property has also required tree-related maintenance, including a debris clean-up in September 2025 and a tree trim request in December 2024 (though the latter was noted as no longer being accepted). Looking back further, there was an illegal dumping incident recorded in May 2006, but this is now a relatively distant event compared to the more recent complaints. The pattern of the most recent complaints suggests ongoing environmental concerns in the immediate vicinity of the property, particularly related to wildlife interactions and waste management issues, though these appear to be situational rather than structural or safety concerns related to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 1512 W Byron 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

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.
