Boystown, Chicago IL 60657 14213020120000 6 units · 1914

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 property at 740 W Cornelia Ave in Chicago's Boystown neighborhood is a 6-unit residential building constructed in 1914, currently owned by Mid North Construction. Over the past seven years, the building has experienced several notable issues, with the most significant being a concerning pattern of rodent-related complaints in 2025-2026, including four distinct reports of rat problems between December 2025 and April 2026. The building has also faced infrastructure maintenance challenges, evidenced by complaints about snow-uncleared sidewalks in December 2025 and a street pothole in April 2025. While the building has been the subject of 39 service requests during this period, only two building violations are on record, and there has been minimal construction activity with just one building permit issued. The relatively small number of 311 service requests for the past seven years, totaling 10, could suggest either limited reporting or possibly fewer urgent issues requiring city intervention.

Risk rating

How 740 W Cornelia 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.
