Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 707 W Willow St in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood, owned by Thomas Ward and constructed in 2005, has had a relatively quiet history over the past seven years, with a total of six 311 service requests and three building permits filed during this period. The service requests, all of which have been resolved, primarily relate to municipal services rather than building-specific issues, including complaints about missed garbage pick-ups (two instances), an abandoned vehicle, and a street pothole in 2024. Additional requests from 2024 included a recycling pickup issue and a tree trim request, though it's worth noting that the latter service is no longer being accepted by the city. The building permits filed by the owner represent standard regulatory compliance activity, though their specific nature isn't detailed in the available data. Overall, the building's records suggest typical urban residential maintenance issues have been addressed promptly, with no major safety concerns or significant building-specific complaints on file.

Risk rating

How 707 W Willow 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.
