Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 1919 N Orchard Street in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood is an 1881 structure currently owned by Chris De Santis. The building's official records over the past seven years show a relatively low volume of property management activity, with only five 311 service requests and one building permit on file. The majority of these service requests (four out of five) have been related to tree maintenance issues, including two tree trimming requests in 2024, a tree debris clean-up in 2026, and notably, one request for tree trimming made in October 2025 that was submitted after the city had stopped accepting such requests. The sole non-tree-related complaint was for an alley pothole in October 2025, which has since been resolved. The building's permit history shows only one permit application in the past seven years, though the specific nature and significance of this permit is not detailed in the available records.

Risk rating

How 1919 N Orchard 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.

Neighborhood percentile
52ndpercentile
