Unlock complete reportThe four-unit building at 1418 W Division Street in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, owned by Revell Ruttenberg, has a history dating back to its construction in 1876. The property currently stands out due to multiple active concerns, with three unresolved complaint-driven inspections initiated in May 2024 that remain open as of the latest records. Although only four building violations have been recorded in the past seven years, the most recent concerns suggest ongoing regulatory scrutiny. The building's documented history of 311 service requests has spiked in recent years, with a total of 18 incidents in the past seven years, predominantly featuring infrastructure-related issues like potholes, with four pothole complaints registered between July 2025 and April 2026 near the property. Notably, there is an open complaint from July 2025 regarding a building permit and construction violation, which could potentially affect both safety and resident experience. While a lead inspection request from July 2025 was resolved, these additional enforcement actions and violations indicate some current challenges with property compliance. The only resolved building violation on record from November 2020 related to a permit inspection, suggesting the building has undergone at least some attention to regulatory compliance during this period.

How 1418 W Division 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, 2120 are predicted to be safer.
