Unlock complete reportThe six-unit residential building at 1218 N Cleaver Street in the West Town neighborhood, owned by Elizabeth Machaj, is a three-parcel property constructed in 1893. Over the past seven years, the building has experienced a relatively low number of service requests, with only four recorded through the 311 system, though the owner has generated significantly more requests (36 in total) through their own channels. The property has maintained a minimal violation record, with only one building violation documented in the same seven-year period. However, the most recent set of incidents from late 2025 raises some concerns about the building's current conditions. Between August and December 2025, there were four documented service requests including three building violations (all closed) and one rodent-related complaint. While the closed status of these requests suggests the issues were addressed, the clustering of building violations towards the end of 2025, along with the rodent complaint, indicates some recent challenges with building maintenance and pest control that warrant attention. The property has also had one environmental complaint on record during the past seven years, though details of this incident are not specified in the available data.

How 1218 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
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.
Out of 2255 buildings in this neighborhood, 1308 are predicted to be safer.
