Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 862 W Newport Ave in Lake View, owned by Todd Mc Clone, is a 1905 structure that has experienced minimal issues over the past seven years according to the Chicago Master Building Record. The property has one open building code violation dating back to February 2023, which was generated through a complaint-driven inspection process. In terms of service requests, there have been two documented incidents: a rodent baiting/rat complaint in April 2026, which has since been resolved, and an open tree planting request from March 2025. The building's permit history shows only one permit issued in the past seven years. While the record shows relatively few violations and service requests overall, the presence of an open building code violation from 2023 and a more recent rodent complaint in April 2026 could warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 862 W Newport Ave 1'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.
