Unlock complete reportThe three-unit residential building at 425 W Armitage Ave in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood, owned by F Owen McKeaney, was constructed in 1906 and has had minimal official interventions in recent years, with only one building permit issued in the past seven years. The property has generated 19 service requests through the city's 311 system during this period, with the most recent cluster of complaints occurring in 2026, primarily related to e-scooter parking issues (three complaints) and street light maintenance. Of particular note is a snow-related sidewalk clearance complaint from December 2025, which could indicate potential concerns about winter maintenance. The building has experienced two construction and demolition-related environmental complaints, with the most recent in April 2024 being resolved shortly after filing, while an earlier complaint from 2021 found no violations. Historical records also show a noise complaint from 2008, though its nature and resolution were not specified. The overall pattern of complaints suggests periodic neighborhood maintenance issues rather than building-specific problems, though the recurring nature of e-scooter parking complaints may indicate local transportation management challenges in the area.

How 425 W Armitage 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

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.
Grade C — Moderate risk
