Initial analysis

The building at 927 W Dakin in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood is a 33-unit, 1925 construction currently owned by Dakin I LLC. The property has experienced various maintenance and public safety issues over the past several years, with a notable increase in service requests in 2024-2025. Most recently, there is an open water lead test kit request from July 2025, which raises potential health concerns. The building has documented multiple rodent-related issues, with two such complaints logged in 2024, along with other maintenance challenges including a missed garbage pick-up in August 2024, water on the street in July 2024, and graffiti that required removal in October 2024. The property has also recorded two violations related to house share prohibition infractions over the past seven years, suggesting some challenges with compliance to local housing regulations. While the total number of 311 service requests (9) may not seem excessive for a building of this size, the nature and recent timing of these issues, particularly the open water lead test request, warrant attention to the building's current maintenance and safety standards.

Risk rating

How 927 W Dakin 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

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.
