Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 458 N Artesian Ave, located in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, is a historic structure dating back to 1875 and currently owned by Dennis Hack. The building's recent history shows minimal service disruptions, with only one 311 service request recorded in the past year - a street light outage in December 2024 that was promptly addressed by the Chicago Department of Transportation. Looking at the broader seven-year window, the property has maintained a relatively clean record with just one environmental complaint filed, which occurred in June 2022 regarding illegal dumping. This issue was quickly resolved the same day it was reported. The owner, Dennis Hack, has been associated with 24 service requests across all their properties in the past seven years, though it's important to note that these are not all specific to 458 N Artesian Ave. The building's record suggests generally responsible management with prompt attention to reported issues, and while it has experienced typical urban challenges like street lighting issues and one instance of illegal dumping, these incidents appear to have been handled in a timely manner.

Risk rating

How 458 N Artesian 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.
