Initial analysis

The 4-unit residential building at 1307 N Clybourn Ave in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood, constructed in 1890, has experienced relatively few issues in recent years, with only eight 311 service requests registered in the past seven years. The majority of these recent requests in 2025-2026 have been related to routine maintenance matters including sign repairs, parking code enforcement reviews, and one instance each of graffiti removal and dead animal pick-up. The building's more distant history shows three air pollution work order complaints between 1999 and 2007, and a significant enforcement action in 2008 when two serious code violations were recorded (with $16,000 fines each) on September 29, 2008, though the disposition was listed as "L" (likely indicating "lost") rather than paid. An additional code violation from 2005 carrying a $200 fine was also recorded and closed, while a third violation from March 2008 had no associated fine. The data suggests that while the building has had some historical maintenance and regulatory issues, particularly in the mid-2000s, the most recent years have seen a notable reduction in both service requests and serious violations.

Risk rating

How 1307 N Clybourn 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
