AI summary

The property at 1927 W Crystal in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood is a three-parcel, 20-unit residential building constructed in 1932 and currently owned by John R Holmes. The building's recent service request history is notably minimal, with only one 311 service request recorded in the past seven years, which was a tree planting request made in May 2024 and has since been closed. While the owner's total service request record shows 33 submissions in the past seven years, this figure likely represents cumulative requests across all three parcels owned by John R Holmes rather than being specific to the Crystal address alone. The building's maintenance and service request history appears relatively quiet, with a significant period (over seven years) of minimal documented issues or service needs, suggesting stable property condition, though it's important to note that not all building conditions may be accurately reflected in publicly available service request data.

Risk rating

How 1927 W Crystal Chicago'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
