Initial analysis

The 5-unit residential building at 915 W Dakin Street in Lake View, owned by Churchfield Investment, has been standing since 1999. The property has experienced relatively few documented issues over the past two decades, with the most significant recent concern being an unresolved periodic routine inspection violation from September 2019. The building has generated a modest number of service requests in recent years, totaling five in the last seven years, including reports of uncleared sidewalks, dead animal removal, rodent issues, tree inspection, and graffiti—all of which have been resolved. Historically, there were two environmental code violations related to air pollution documented in January 2001, for which the property was fined $200 in total, though these cases were properly closed.

Risk rating

How 915 W Dakin 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.
