Initial analysis

The five-unit residential building at 24 E Division St in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood, owned by Douglas Vantress, was constructed in 1884 and has experienced several significant events over its history. Most notably, there are currently seven unresolved periodic routine inspection violations as of May 2026, which suggests ongoing compliance issues that may impact resident safety and comfort. The building has also generated a considerable number of service requests in recent months, with six snow-related complaints in January 2026 and one e-scooter parking complaint in February 2026, all of which have been resolved. These recent snow-related issues, particularly if they occurred during extreme winter conditions, may indicate challenges with snow management around the property.

Risk rating

How 24 E Division St'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.
