Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 512 W Arlington Place in Lincoln Park, constructed in 1889, has experienced notable activity over the past seven years, particularly in 2026. The most recent incidents include three building violations and multiple graffiti removal requests between March and June 2026, with one graffiti removal case still marked as open. The property has maintained a relatively clean record in terms of major environmental issues, with only one construction and demolition complaint filed in August 2021, which was promptly resolved within 24 hours. Across all categories, there have been 22 total service requests logged, all attributed to the current ownership under JPSR Arlington 512 A, along with one environmental complaint, suggesting consistent monitoring and reporting of building-related issues by tenants or management. The concentration of recent service requests in 2026, particularly regarding building violations and graffiti, indicates increased maintenance activity, though the majority of past complaints have been resolved promptly.

Risk rating

How 512 W Arlington Pl'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
