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

1322 N Cleaver St is a four-unit residential building located in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Matthew Hoffman. The property has generated four service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent incidents occurring in 2024-2025. These documented complaints primarily relate to street-related issues outside the building rather than internal property concerns, including two abandoned vehicle complaints (one in March 2024 and another in May 2025), an uncleared sidewalk complaint regarding snow removal (January 2025), and a parking code enforcement review (August 2024). The building's service request history shows minimal external complaints, with no recorded issues related to the building's internal systems or maintenance. The age of the building (115 years as of 2023) is notable, though this is a common age for structures in this Chicago neighborhood.

Risk rating

How 1322 N Cleaver St'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
21stpercentile
