Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1214 W Cornelia Ave 2 in the Lake View neighborhood, owned by Marcia Lynn Mizushima, has been in operation since 1915 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most concerning is a significant environmental enforcement action from September 2023, where the property was found in violation of waste treatment and disposal regulations, resulting in a $2,500 default fine. In terms of maintenance and service issues, the property has generated multiple service requests over the past seven years, with a cluster of them occurring in 2024, including three requests related to garbage and recycling cart maintenance between June and July 2024, and a coyote interaction complaint in November 2024. A minor 311 information call was also recorded in February 2026. The building's permit activity has been minimal during this period, with only one building permit issued, suggesting limited recent construction or modification work. While the number of service requests might seem moderate, the relatively recent environmental violation indicates attention may be required regarding waste management practices at this property.

Risk rating

How 1214 W Cornelia Ave 2'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.
