AI summary

The three-unit building at 11 E Division St in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood, owned by Julian Mickelson, has been standing since 1889 and has had a somewhat concerning recent history. Over the past seven years, there have been numerous service requests and complaints, with the most notable pattern emerging in 2026 involving multiple rodent-related issues, including three separate complaints within a two-week period in May 2026, and another complaint in February 2026. The property has also experienced recurring issues with alley infrastructure, as evidenced by two pothole complaints in May 2026. Environmental concerns have been documented in both 2013 and 2024, with air pollution complaints recorded in April and May 2024 that were investigated but resulted in no confirmed violations, and an alleged construction violation in 2013 that was similarly unsubstantiated. The building's maintenance record shows a mixture of service requests, with the owner filing a total of 65 311 service requests over the past seven years, though it's unclear from the data what specific issues these requests addressed. While the property has had its share of reported issues, it's worth noting that many complaints have been investigated and found to lack sufficient grounds for enforcement actions.

Risk rating

How 11 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

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.
