Initial analysis

The 48-unit residential building at 452 W Oakdale in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, constructed in 1970 and currently managed by Baum Management, has experienced several notable incidents over the past two years. Most concerning are two unresolved building code violations from June 4, 2026, related to periodic routine inspections, which represent the only open violations on the building's record. The property has generated a total of 14 service requests through the city's 311 system in this period, with the most recent cluster of activity occurring in late 2025 to mid-2026, including multiple tree debris clean-up requests (one of which remains open), a building violation report, and a commercial fire safety inspection request - all of which have been resolved. Additionally, there are currently two unresolved sign repair requests from October 2025. While the building's violation and service request history isn't excessively high for a property of its size, the presence of open building code violations and multiple sign repair requests warrant attention. Compared to many older buildings, this property has maintained a relatively low number of code violations and service requests overall, but the recent pattern indicates some ongoing maintenance and regulatory compliance issues.

Risk rating

How 452 W Oakdale 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
9thpercentile

Out of 3452 buildings in this neighborhood, 3141 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
