Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1209 W Eddy St in Lake View is a century-old property built in 1910 and currently owned by Thomas R Hayn Eddy. The building's recent history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only two 311 service requests recorded since 2015. The most recent service request, dated April 2026, concerned a tree trimming matter that is no longer being accepted by the city, while an earlier request from October 2025 was related to a blue recycling cart and was directed to the Alderman's office. Additionally, there has been only one building permit filed in the past seven years, suggesting limited recent construction or renovation activity on the property. While the building's documented history shows few disturbances or violations, it's worth noting that the limited number of service requests and permits could indicate either minimal maintenance needs or potentially outdated records, though no significant safety concerns or resident experience issues are apparent from the available data.

Risk rating

How 1209 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.
