Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1029 W Wellington Ave in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, owned by Daniel Gans, has a century-plus history dating back to its 1888 construction. The property has experienced minimal documented issues in recent years, with a total of four building violations recorded over the past seven years. The most recent concerning pattern involves a series of snow-related service requests between December 14-18, 2025, where multiple complaints were filed regarding uncleared sidewalks, though all these were subsequently closed. The property also had two tree trimming requests in October 2025, but it's worth noting that these specific requests are no longer being accepted. While the building has a documented history of service requests and violations, the relatively low number of complaints and violations over the past seven years, combined with their varied nature, suggests no significant persistent issues affecting resident safety or comfort.

Risk rating

How 1029 W Wellington 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

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.
