Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1257 W Schubert Ave in Lincoln Park, owned by Hain Brody, has been standing since 1902 and has generated a moderate number of service requests over the past seven years. The property's recent history (2025-2026) reveals some notable patterns, particularly concerning pest control and sanitation issues, with three documented rodent-related incidents and two complaints about missed garbage pick-ups occurring in the summer of 2025 alone. An environmental complaint regarding air pollution was filed in May 2025, though this was referred to another agency and resolved the following day. The most recent service requests in early 2026 were unrelated to building conditions, consisting of an information call and a report of an injured animal. While the building has experienced some maintenance and sanitation challenges, particularly in the summer of 2025, it's worth noting that these issues appear to have been addressed promptly, as indicated by the closed status of all service requests. The total number of complaints and service requests over the past seven years remains relatively low for a three-unit building of this age, with only 23 total 311 service requests and 1 environmental complaint on record.

Risk rating

How 1257 W Schubert 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
45thpercentile

Out of 1544 buildings in this neighborhood, 849 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
