Initial analysis

The 228 W Hill building in Chicago's River North neighborhood is a 456-unit residential property built in 2021, currently owned by Onni Atrium Development. The building's record over the past seven years shows a total of 81 building violations, with 49 of these occurring in just this year alone. The property has experienced repeated issues with noise, particularly evident in three separate complaints in June 2023 and earlier incidents in 2021, though most were resolved relatively quickly. There is one unresolved building code violation from September 2024, concerning periodic routine inspections, which represents the only remaining open building code issue. The building has also been the subject of three environmental complaints, with the first two related to noise and others in the early 2000s related to hazardous materials and asbestos concerns, which were presumably addressed given their age. Recent service requests include an open water on street complaint from March 2026, while the building's permit activity shows 19 permits filed across various categories. The high number of violations and service requests, particularly in recent months, suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges, though many historical issues have been resolved as records indicate.

Risk rating

How 228 W Hill 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.
