Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1131 W George St 2 in Lake View, owned by Catherine Gilmore, is a 135-year-old property constructed in 1888. Over the past seven years, the building's record shows minimal activity in terms of violations and permits, with only one building code violation and two building permits issued during this period. The sole documented building code violation dates back to September 2021 and is currently listed as open and unresolved, representing the only significant concern on the building's recent record. The property has had one 311 service request in the past seven years, which was a tree trim request filed in February 2025, though it's worth noting that this particular type of request is no longer being accepted by the city. This request has since been marked as closed, though its relevance to the building's condition is minimal given that it pertains to exterior landscaping rather than the structure itself.

Risk rating

How 1131 W George St 2'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.
