Initial analysis

The 107-unit residential building at 508 W Aldine in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, owned by A Eisenberg and constructed in 1969, has experienced several noteworthy incidents over the past seven years. Most significantly, during June 2026, there was a series of tree-related emergencies and clean-up requests, with one tree emergency still listed as open at the time of reporting. In terms of code compliance, there was one sanitation code violation recorded in May 2026 and a building violation in October 2025, both of which have been resolved. The building's maintenance record shows relatively low activity overall, with only nine 311 service requests and two building permits filed in the past seven years, suggesting minimal recent structural modifications or significant maintenance issues. While the most recent issues primarily relate to external tree concerns rather than building-specific problems, the concentration of service requests in 2026 indicates a recent period requiring more attention to property maintenance matters.

Risk rating

How 508 W Aldine 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
4thpercentile

Out of 3452 buildings in this neighborhood, 3314 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
