Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1028 N Winchester Ave in Chicago's East Village neighborhood has been under the ownership of Iwona Darian since its construction in 1981. The property's recent maintenance record over the past seven years reveals a total of five service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent incidents occurring in April 2025, involving complaints about fly dumping and graffiti. Prior to these, there were three service requests in 2024, including a general information call and two tree trimming requests, though the latter two were for services that were no longer being accepted. Looking further back into the building's history, there was a hazardous materials complaint filed in July 2002, which suggests some environmental concerns nearly 25 years ago, though there's no record of any similar issues in the more recent data.

Risk rating

How 1028 N Winchester 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

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.
