Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1230 W Eddy Street in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, owned by Helen Brusek, has been standing since 1907 and has maintained its original two-unit configuration. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of seven service requests, all of which have been successfully resolved according to the city's records. The most recent cluster of incidents occurred in 2025, with a series of maintenance requests primarily focused on street lighting issues, including two complaints about non-functional street lights and two requests for tree debris clean-up. The 2025 period also saw an inspection request for tree removal. Prior to these, in 2024, there was one documented rodent-related complaint that was addressed. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, particularly in 2025, all reported problems have been properly closed out, suggesting responsive management of municipal service requests. The records indicate no structural or safety-related complaints specifically about the building itself, with all issues being related to public infrastructure and landscaping concerns in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 1230 W Eddy 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.
