Unlock complete reportThe three-unit residential building at 1961 N Halsted St in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood, owned by Daniel R Greening, was constructed in 1948 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. The most pressing current issue is an open periodic routine inspection violation from August 2024, which remains unresolved as of October 2023. The building has a history of permit-related inspections from May 2021, though those violations were resolved. Over the past seven years, there have been three building code violations recorded, along with ten 311 service requests. The most recent service requests include an open water lead test kit request from March 2026 and a tree emergency request from the same month, while other recent requests from 2025 (including recycling pickup, garbage cart maintenance, parking code enforcement review, and a building violation) have been closed. It is worth noting that the only historical environmental complaint on record dates back to February 2005, relating to air pollution, though there are no recent environmental issues documented. The pattern of service requests suggests regular building management interaction with city services, though the current unresolved routine inspection violation merits attention.

How 1961 N Halsted St'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.
Out of 579 buildings in this neighborhood, 486 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
