Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 855 W Oakdale Ave in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, owned by Maria C Theisen, has been standing since 1895. The property's recent service history from the past two years (2024-2025) shows multiple requests primarily related to tree management, with four tree trim requests and one tree removal inspection conducted between February and March 2025. The building has experienced one notable pest control incident, as evidenced by a rodent baiting/rat complaint in March 2025. The property has maintained a relatively low volume of service requests overall, with only eight 311 calls recorded in the past seven years, and has required just one building permit in that same timeframe. The recent cluster of tree-related service requests and the single pest control incident represent the most significant patterns in the building's recent service history, though all recorded service requests have been marked as closed.

Risk rating

How 855 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.

Neighborhood percentile
