Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1746 N Wells St in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood, owned by Peter Alexopoulos, has a notable history since its construction in 1885. Most significantly, there are currently seven unresolved building code violations identified during periodic routine inspections conducted in August 2025, which may raise concerns about the building's maintenance and safety standards. In addition to these open violations, the property has experienced a somewhat high volume of 311 service requests, with 45 recorded over the past seven years. The most recent cluster of service requests from 2026 (April through June) focused primarily on street-related issues, including two street light complaints and two tree trim requests, along with complaints about Divvy bike parking and e-scooter parking. While these external issues don't directly impact the building's condition, they reflect the property's interaction with its neighborhood infrastructure. An environmental noise complaint was filed against the property in November 2003, though this is quite dated and may not be representative of current conditions.

Risk rating

How 1746 N Wells 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
