Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

Located in the vibrant Wicker Park neighborhood, 1308 N Hoyne Ave is a 4-unit residential building owned by Matthew Alschuler and constructed in 1896. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of 17 service requests through the 311 system, with notable clustering around tree-related issues in 2026. The most recent activity includes two open tree-related service requests from June and April 2026, as well as a tree removal inspection request from April 2026. Earlier in 2026, there were also two tree-related service requests in May, including a fly dumping complaint that has since been closed. The building's 311 service history shows minimal recurring issues beyond the tree-related concerns, with only one garbage cart maintenance request recorded in November 2025. While the frequency of tree-related service requests in 2026 is noteworthy, the property's overall service request record over the past seven years does not indicate any significant patterns of safety concerns or resident experience issues, with the majority of requests being addressed and closed in a reasonable timeframe.

Risk rating

How 1308 N Hoyne 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
36thpercentile
