Initial analysis

The six-unit, 1908 Gold Coast building at 19 E Cedar St, currently owned by Judit Edlund, has experienced a notable number of incidents in recent years. Most concerning are three open building code violations recorded on December 3, 2020, which followed a series of 28 service requests to 311 over the past seven years. The most recent activity, spanning from March to June 2026, includes multiple open complaints and requests that suggest ongoing issues at the property, such as tree debris cleanup, a tree emergency, and a vacant/abandoned building complaint. There have also been two business-related complaints in April 2026, though these were eventually closed. Looking further back, the building had an illegal dumping incident in June 2008, which was recorded as an environmental complaint. The persistence of open violations and service requests, particularly in recent months, indicates that some issues at this property have remained unresolved for substantial periods, though the nature of the complaints varies widely from tree-related matters to potential building vacancy concerns.

Risk rating

How 19 E Cedar 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.
