Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1650 N Orchard Street in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood, owned by Anne I Gordon, is a historic property dating back to 1894. The building has experienced several notable incidents in recent years, with the most significant occurring in mid-2024 when two environmental enforcement actions were taken against the property. One of these violations, related to construction site cleanliness, resulted in no fines, while the other concerning waste treatment and disposal incurred a $1,500 fine. Additional environmental concerns were documented in late 2024 when an air pollution complaint was lodged and promptly resolved within a day.

Risk rating

How 1650 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
84thpercentile

Out of 579 buildings in this neighborhood, 93 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
