Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 435 W Saint James Place in Lincoln Park, owned by Julian Kerbis, is a 128-year-old property that has experienced minimal documented activity in recent years. Over the past seven years, only one 311 service request has been filed under the owner's name, which was an abandoned vehicle complaint created on September 2, 2025, and subsequently closed. This request appears to pertain to a vehicle rather than a building-related issue, and notably, there is no record of any building-related service requests or complaints during this period. Additionally, the property has secured only one building permit in the past seven years, though the specific details and nature of this permit are not provided in the available data. The overall record suggests limited recent activity or required maintenance at this historical property, with no documented safety concerns or resident experience issues on file.

Risk rating

How 435 W Saint James 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.
