Initial analysis

The 18-unit residential building at 1351 N State Street in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood is a historic property dating back to 1896, currently owned by Thomas Bros Co 811 across three parcels. The building's recent record from the past seven years shows multiple concerning patterns, with three building code violations and five service requests on record. Most notably, there are currently three open building code violations as of January 2026, resulting from complaint-driven inspections that have yet to be resolved. The property has experienced 37 service requests under the current ownership, with the most recent issues including a rodent complaint and a building violation in late 2025, though these matters were eventually closed. A water lead test kit request from February 2025 remains open, which could be of particular concern regarding water quality. Further back in the building's history, there was an air pollution-related environmental complaint filed in May 2008. While the building has had various service requests over the years, including Divvy bike parking and general information inquiries, the persistence of recent unresolved violations and the open lead testing request warrant attention to the property's current conditions.

Risk rating

How 1351 N State 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
26thpercentile

Out of 90 buildings in this neighborhood, 67 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
