Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1343 N Western Ave, located in Wicker Park, was constructed in 2021 and currently has one parcel owned by GTOA REAL ESTATE INVES. The property's records from the past two years show a pattern of maintenance and public infrastructure issues in its immediate vicinity. Since May 2026, there have been multiple open service requests, including three alley pothole complaints, a street light outage, and an ongoing public way inspection request. These recent infrastructure issues are particularly notable as they directly impact the accessibility and safety of the building's surroundings. While the building itself has maintained a relatively clean record with only one environmental complaint related to construction in March 2025 (which was resolved on the same day), the recent surge in environmental and infrastructure service requests suggests ongoing challenges in the immediate vicinity. Prior to 2026, the building's service request and permit activity were minimal, with only two building permits issued and one environmental complaint recorded over the full seven-year period of available data.

Risk rating

How 1343 N Western Ave'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
97thpercentile
