Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1370 N Milwaukee Ave in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood, owned by the Golin Family Trust, has been standing since 1891 and has experienced several significant events over the past seven years. Most notably, the property has faced an extensive series of graffiti-related issues in recent months, with seven documented removal requests between April and May 2026, all of which have been closed. The building's environmental record shows two complaints in 2021-2022, one concerning noise in October 2021 and another regarding air pollution in September 2022; both complaints were resolved promptly within one to three days. More seriously, the property incurred a $1,000 fine in October 2022 following an environmental violation related to the October 2022 air pollution complaint, which was processed through an administrative hearing and marked as a liable plea. While the building has had a total of four violations and 101 311 service requests logged over the past seven years, the most concerning recent patterns relate primarily to graffiti incidents, with the property appearing to undergo periodic issues with both vandalism and environmental compliance matters.

Risk rating

How 1370 N Milwaukee 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.
