Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1002 N Wolcott Ave in Chicago's East Village neighborhood, constructed in 1893 and currently owned by Carl H Dreyer, has experienced minimal building code violations over the past seven years, with only one recorded violation from August 2021 related to a periodic routine inspection that remains unresolved as of October 2023. The property has generated a total of 24 service requests through the 311 system during this period, suggesting regular interaction with city services, though most of these issues appear to be typical neighborhood concerns rather than building-specific problems. Recent 311 requests from 2025 included topics such as yard waste pick-up, bicycle-related matters, graffiti removal, and even an injured animal report, all of which were successfully closed. The most recent service request from April 2026 pertains to finance parking code enforcement, which is also closed. While the volume of 311 requests is noteworthy, they primarily address general neighborhood maintenance rather than specific building issues, with the exception of the open building violation from 2021.

Risk rating

How 1002 N Wolcott 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.
