Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 715 W Buckingham Pl 1N in Boystown, owned by Henry S Kramzyk, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with the most concerning being two unresolved code violations recorded in March 2025, both associated with complaint-driven inspections. The property has a total of 13 service requests logged through the city's 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026. This includes a currently open request for a water lead test kit, which suggests potential concerns about water quality in the building. Other recent 311 service requests, all of which have been resolved, included a nuisance animal complaint, a street light outage, a rodent issue, and a water-related problem in the street - though these incidents were addressed through normal city services. A sewer inspection of the alley adjacent to the property was also conducted and resolved in December 2026. The building's historical record shows a noise complaint from 2009, but aside from the recent environmental and maintenance issues, there are no other significant violations or concerns on record. The property has only one building permit filed in the past seven years, though the nature of this permit is not specified in the available data.

Risk rating

How 715 W Buckingham Pl 1N'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
90thpercentile

Out of 121 buildings in this neighborhood, 12 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
