Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 852 N Maplewood Ave in Chicago's Ukrainian Village neighborhood is a 108-year-old structure currently owned by MW Real Estate Venture. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows minimal maintenance and service activity, with only one building permit filed and two 311 service requests made directly about the property. The most recent of these was a no water complaint filed in April 2026, which has since been closed, while an earlier tree trim request from April 2025 was also closed but noted that such requests are no longer being accepted. It's worth noting that the building's ownership group, MW Real Estate Venture, has had a total of 20 service requests filed under their name across five parcels, though the nature of these requests is not specified in the provided data. While the quantity of service requests and permits is relatively low for a building of this age, the focus on water-related issues (both the no water complaint and the tree-related request likely being connected to utility concerns) is noteworthy, particularly considering the property's age and unit count.

Risk rating

How 852 N Maplewood Ave'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
53rdpercentile
