AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 1250 W Newport Ave in Lake View, owned by Eric E Breese, has a documented history spanning over 114 years since its construction in 1909. The city's 311 Service Requests database shows minimal activity over the past seven years, with only two recorded service requests. The most recent incident, logged in May 2026, is an open complaint regarding garbage cart maintenance, while a previous rodent-related complaint from August 2025 has been closed. The building's service request history is relatively sparse, with only one complaint directly related to pest issues, suggesting this may not be an ongoing problem. Given the time that has elapsed since these incidents, they may no longer reflect current conditions, though the open status of the recent garbage cart maintenance request indicates an unresolved issue requiring attention.

Risk rating

How 1250 W Newport Ave 2Fl'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.
