Initial analysis

The seven-unit building at 1511 N Sedgwick in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood, constructed in 2019 and currently owned by 1511 Sedgwick LLC, has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most concerning are multiple unresolved periodic routine inspection violations recorded in September 2024, which suggest potential compliance or safety issues that have not yet been addressed. The building has generated a total of 12 service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent cluster of complaints in August 2025 concerning rodent issues, dead animal removal, and sanitation violations, all of which have been resolved. Earlier requests in 2025 included yard waste removal and two open tree planting requests from May 2025. The property has maintained a relatively modest record of building permits during this period, with only one permit recorded. While the building has generated some maintenance and sanitation-related service requests, it's worth noting that most recent service requests have been resolved promptly.

Risk rating

How 1511 N Sedgwick 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
36thpercentile

Out of 579 buildings in this neighborhood, 371 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
