Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1018 N Winchester Ave in Chicago's East Village neighborhood, owned by Teresa Garcia, is a 133-year-old structure dating back to 1890. The building's recent record shows relatively few issues, with only one building code violation recorded in July 2025 related to permit inspection that remains unresolved as of October 2023. The property has had minimal interaction with city services over the past seven years, featuring only three 311 service requests specifically linked to the building itself. These requests include a now-closed street light outage complaint from August 2024, a closed tree trimming request from June 2024 (notably indicating that this type of request is no longer being accepted), and an open water lead test kit request initiated in May 2024 through the Department of Water Management. The water lead test kit request, while currently open, represents a proactive approach to monitoring water quality, though it should be noted that the building code violation from July 2025 should be monitored for resolution.

Risk rating

How 1018 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

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
49thpercentile
