Initial analysis

The 26-unit residential building at 1446 N Dearborn in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood, owned by Dearborn Bldg III and constructed in 1972, has exhibited several concerning trends in recent years. Most notably, on October 29, 2025, the building received multiple periodic routine inspection violations that remain open and unresolved as of this reporting period. While the building has maintained activity in 311 service requests, with 19 recorded over the past seven years, recent months (early 2026) have primarily seen administrative and municipal service requests being made and subsequently closed, including matters related to parking enforcement, recycling carts, street lighting, abandoned vehicles, garbage cart maintenance, and sidewalk snow clearing. There was one significant environmental incident recorded in June 2022 involving air pollution, though this complaint was resolved within three days. The building's permits record shows relatively limited activity, with only three building permits issued over the same seven-year period, which may warrant attention given the recurring inspection violations.

Risk rating

How 1446 N Dearborn 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
4thpercentile

Out of 90 buildings in this neighborhood, 86 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
