Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1347 N Maplewood Ave, located in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood, is a historic property dating back to 1894 and currently owned by Chris Berthold. Over the past seven years, the building has generated five documented 311 service requests, with the most recent being an open tree emergency report from June 2026. The property has experienced several infrastructure-related issues, most notably in mid-2025, when two separate sewer cleaning inspection requests were filed, one through the 311 City Services and another via the Alderman's office, both of which were subsequently closed. Water-related concerns have also been documented, including a street water complaint in August 2025. Earlier records from June 2024 indicate a rodent-related issue that was addressed and closed. Collectively, these service requests suggest periodic attention to both exterior and utility-related matters, though all previous complaints have been resolved, with the exception of the most recent tree emergency report.

Risk rating

How 1347 N Maplewood Ave 1'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.
