Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1522 N Oakley Blvd in Wicker Park, constructed in 1903 and currently owned by Trustee Raul A Perez, has experienced multiple service issues in the past seven years. The most recent and most frequent cluster of incidents occurred in 2025, with four separate complaints between February and June of that year, including two reports of abandoned vehicles (in February and March), rodent problems, sanitation code violations, and a tree emergency - all of which have since been resolved. An alley light outage complaint was filed and closed in April 2026. While the building has only six documented service requests in the past seven years, the concentration of issues in 2025 and early 2026 suggests there was a period of heightened maintenance and safety concerns during that timeframe, particularly related to environmental conditions ( rodents and sanitation) and infrastructure components ( lighting and tree concerns).

Risk rating

How 1522 N Oakley Blvd'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
