Initial analysis

1730 N Clark is a 575-unit residential building located in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood, owned by Terry A McKay and constructed in 1989. The property has undergone regular scrutiny over the past seven years, with 23 building permits issued and a total of 122 service requests logged through the city's 311 system. Of particular concern are six unresolved building code violations from January 2026 related to periodic routine inspections, which represent the most significant current safety and compliance issues. The building has also experienced two environmental complaints in this period, including noise issues in 2020 and 2023, and a service station/storage tank incident in 2022 that was promptly resolved. Historical records show a noise complaint dating back to 1993, suggesting this may be an ongoing resident concern. While there have been numerous service requests in 2026 alone, most are related to street infrastructure rather than building-specific issues, including street cleaning, potholes, and bike parking concerns, though these do indicate active engagement with local services by residents. Only one permit-related inspection in 2024 required follow-up, though this was ultimately resolved.

Risk rating

How 1730 N Clark Chicago'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
