Initial analysis

The 1436 W Belmont Ave building, located in Lake View, is a four-unit residential property built in 1888 and owned by D E Risner. The building's recorded service requests from the past seven years show a total of eight incidents, with the majority occurring in 2026. Most notably, there is currently an open building violation filed in June 2026, which could potentially impact resident safety or comfort. The first half of 2026 saw three tree trim requests and two public way inspection requests, all of which were appropriately closed following their resolution. Additionally, there was one incident of graffiti in March 2026 that was resolved through a removal request. While the building has had several maintenance and inspection requests, particularly in 2026, it's important to note that these represent standard urban management issues rather than systemic problems with the building itself. The most significant concern appears to be the open building violation from June 2026, which remains unresolved as of the latest data update in October 2023.

Risk rating

How 1436 W Belmont Ave'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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
