Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 1425 N Ashland Ave, located in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, is a 126-year-old property owned by Seyed Firozabadi. The building's recent service history from 2025 shows a recurring issue with graffiti, with four documented removal requests between April and December of that year, suggesting a persistent maintenance challenge in the immediate vicinity. In addition to the graffiti concerns, there have been two infrastructure-related service requests in mid-2025: one for garbage cart maintenance in July and another for sign repair in July. The property's overall service record indicates a total of 39 service requests over the past seven years, with two building violations also recorded during this period, though specific details of these violations are not provided in the available data. Given the building's age and the recent pattern of maintenance requests, particularly relating to exterior upkeep, these factors warrant attention in assessing the property's current condition and management responsiveness.

Risk rating

How 1425 N Ashland Ave'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
26thpercentile

Out of 2271 buildings in this neighborhood, 1681 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Location

Precise location is a proxy for area-level risk — some Chicago zip codes have systematically higher code-enforcement activity.

Property class (211)

Assessor class 211 — small residential (roughly 2–6 units). The assessor's property-class code, which correlates with building type and the violation rates the model expects.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.
