Initial analysis

The 828 N State building, located in Chicago's Rush & Division neighborhood, is an 8-unit property constructed in 1888 and currently owned by Nicholas Kendellen. The building's record over the past seven years shows some concerning patterns, most notably with three open, unresolved violations resulting from complaint-driven inspections on August 16, 2021. While these violations have remained open for over two years, there have been 17 other service requests recorded through the city's 311 system during this period, suggesting ongoing maintenance or operational issues. The most recent service request was related to rodent baiting and a rat complaint in May 2026, though this request seems to be from the future based on the provided date. Earlier service requests between September and December 2025 primarily concerned sign repairs and information inquiries, all of which have been resolved.

Risk rating

How 828 N State 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

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.
