Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1708 N Sedgwick St in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood, owned by Sharon E Frederick, is a historic structure dating back to 1878. The property has generated a modest number of municipal interactions over the past seven years, with a total of five service requests and one building permit on record. The most recent service request occurred in November 2025, concerning e-scooter parking, while the previous three instances, all logged in 2025, were related to tree trimming issues. Earlier in this period, a March 2024 request addressed garbage cart maintenance through the Alderman's office. The building's environmental record shows one construction-related complaint from 2019, which was investigated but resulted in no violation being found. It's worth noting that several of the service requests pertained to municipal services outside the building's direct management, such as street maintenance and public tree upkeep. The relatively low number of building-specific complaints or violations on record over this extended period suggests stable maintenance conditions.

Risk rating

How 1708 N Sedgwick 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.
