Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1224 W Oakdale Ave in Lake View, managed by Fairmont Property Management, is a 1899 vintage structure with maintained records over the past seven years showing both challenges and compliance. The building experienced two code violations in May 2025, both of which have been resolved, and while the property has had minimal building violations (2) in the past seven years, the management company has faced more significant issues across its total portfolio with 5 violations recorded. The most recent cluster of events in Summer 2026 was marked by multiple tree-related incidents, with five service requests between June 8-13 2026, including emergency responses and debris clean-up needs, along with one rodent baiting complaint. The building has maintained relative stability in terms of building permits, with only one permit issued specifically for the Oakdale property in the last seven years, while the management company's other properties have required 5 permits in total. The property has generated a total of 23 service requests over seven years, though this is a small fraction compared to the 83 requests recorded under the management company's total portfolio, indicating that the Oakdale building has had fewer issues compared to other properties managed by Fairmont.

Risk rating

How 1224 W Oakdale Ave'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.
