1045 W Cornelia Chicago

Lake View, Chicago IL 60657 14204090300000 16 units · 2014

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-story, 16-unit residential building at 1045 W Cornelia in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood was constructed in 2014 and is currently owned by 1045 W CORNELIA LLC. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of three 311 service requests, with the most recent occurring in April 2025 related to a building violation, and another in March 2025 concerning graffiti removal. Before these recent incidents, there was a request in November 2024 for dead animal removal from the property.

Risk rating

How 1045 W Cornelia Chicago'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.

Neighborhood percentile
14thpercentile

Out of 3452 buildings in this neighborhood, 2969 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
