537 W Deming Chicago

Lincoln Park, Chicago IL 60614 14283160090000 72 units · 1926

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 72-unit residential building at 537 W Deming in Lincoln Park, owned by Inoucure Company Inc, has been standing since 1926 and has had relatively few service requests and permits in recent years. Over the past seven years, there have been only 13 service requests filed through the city's 311 system, with one building permit recorded in the same period. The most concerning trend in the building's recent history is a cluster of rodent-related issues, with five rodent baiting or rat complaints documented between February and August 2026-2025, including two in August 2025 alone. Additionally, there was one building violation complaint filed in March 2026, and a fly dumping complaint in March 2025. These pest-related incidents represent the most significant ongoing challenge for the building, though it's worth noting that all documented service requests have been marked as closed. Given the age of the structure (97 years old as of 2023), it is notable that there has been only one building permit recorded in the past seven years, though this alone does not necessarily indicate any particular concern about building maintenance or safety.

Risk rating

How 537 W Deming 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
3rdpercentile
