Initial analysis

The 22-story residential building at 822 N Dearborn, located in the Rush & Division neighborhood, is a 225-unit structure built in 1968 and currently owned by 55 W Chestnut A LLC. The property has experienced several noteworthy incidents in recent years, most significantly a cluster of noise complaints in July 2023, all of which were resolved by September 2023. More recently, in 2026, there are multiple open service requests including a tree removal inspection, a water lead test kit request, and a building violation, alongside a closed nuisance animal complaint and a closed rodent-related complaint from earlier in the year. The building's record over the past seven years shows relatively low activity overall, with only 1 building permit issued, 3 environmental complaints (two of which were air pollution-related incidents from 1994), and one house share prohibition violation. The limited number of complaints and service requests could suggest either effective property management or possibly underreporting of issues, though the recent concentration of open service requests in 2026 may indicate some emerging maintenance or regulatory compliance challenges.

Risk rating

How 822 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
