Initial analysis

The five-unit residential building at 1951 W Division St in Chicago's East Village neighborhood, owned by Mark Wyshnytzky, has experienced several notable and concerning issues in recent years. Most significantly, there has been a recent surge in noise-related disturbances, with six noise complaints filed within a single week in August 2023, though most of these were resolved shortly thereafter. The building is currently facing two open service requests from March 2026, including a water lead test kit request, and has one unresolved building violation from October 2023. The property has a history of building code violations, with multiple complaint-driven inspections in both 2022 and 2020, though most violations from these inspections were resolved. The building's record also shows a consistent pattern of maintenance and service requests, with 40 total 311 service requests in the past seven years, including recent requests for graffiti removal and a sidewalk inspection. Environmental complaints have remained relatively stable, with nine such incidents recorded over seven years. While the building has had its share of violations and complaints, it's worth noting that the majority of past building code violations have been resolved, and recent noise issues appear to have been addressed promptly, at least in the short term.

Risk rating

How 1951 W Division St'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
2ndpercentile
