Initial analysis

The Cornelia Building III at 815 W Cornelia in the Lake View neighborhood is a 55-unit residential building constructed in 1907. According to the records for the past seven years, the property has maintained relatively minimal code violations, with only one documented building violation from May 2022 related to a periodic routine inspection that remains open and unresolved. The building has generated a total of 21 service requests through the city's 311 system during this period, with the most recent activity occurring in June 2026, when there were multiple graffiti removal requests (six in total) and one tree debris clean-up request, all of which have been closed out. While the cluster of graffiti incidents in June 2026 is notable, it's important to emphasize that these exterior issues appear to be related to the immediate surroundings rather than the building structure itself. The property has had only one building permit filed in the past seven years, and the overall record shows a relatively stable pattern of maintenance and compliance, with the exception of the one unresolved violation from 2022.

Risk rating

How 815 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
3rdpercentile
