Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1301 W Nelson Street in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, owned by the Kelly I Feil Addy Trust, is a historically significant structure dating back to 1888. The building's recent administrative history shows limited activity over the past seven years, with only one building permit filed during this period. The property has generated a total of 16 service requests through the city's 311 system, primarily for street-related issues including tree debris cleanup, dead animal pickup, abandoned vehicle complaints, yard waste collection, and a pothole complaint, all of which have been resolved. These service requests, primarily involving municipal services rather than building-specific issues, suggest the property itself is not facing significant maintenance or structural concerns.

Risk rating

How 1301 W Nelson St'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
