Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1120 W Chestnut St in the West Town neighborhood, owned by Julie Haran Castaneda, was constructed in 2026 and has been subjected to various municipal interactions over the past seven years. Notably, there is one unresolved building code violation on record from September 2019, which, given its age and status, warrants particular attention as it suggests an ongoing compliance issue. The property has generated seven 311 service requests during this period, with the most recent being a vicious animal complaint in October 2025. Most of these requests (four out of seven) have been related to tree removal inspections conducted between May and September 2024, while other concerns have included a blue recycling cart issue and a sign repair request in 2025 and 2024 respectively. The building's record shows two building permits filed under the owner's name, though the nature and scope of these permits are not specified in the available data. While the building's overall record is relatively limited in terms of violations and complaints, the combination of an open building code violation and multiple tree-related service requests may indicate ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges.

Risk rating

How 1120 W Chestnut St 1'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
