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 three-unit residential building at 609 W Arlington Place, owned by Lillian Mithcell, has a documented history dating back to 1900 in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago. Over the past seven years, there have been 19 recorded 311 service requests associated with the property, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026. The building's maintenance and safety record shows a mix of sanitation-related issues, including two closed sanitation code violations in 2025, and concerns about snow removal with an uncleared sidewalk complaint that was also closed in 2025. Of particular note is the current open request from August 2025 for a water lead test kit, suggesting proactive measures being taken regarding water safety, though this remains unresolved as of the latest available data. The property has experienced recurring issues with trees and their maintenance, evidenced by a tree emergency in June 2026 (still open) and a tree debris clean-up request from October 2025 (closed). The overall service request pattern indicates ongoing attention to both the interior and exterior maintenance needs of this century-old building.

Risk rating

How 609 W Arlington Pl 2'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
