Initial analysis

The property at 1046 N Wood St 2 in Chicago's East Village neighborhood is a five-unit building constructed in 1878, currently owned by Michelle R Heiring. The building's recent record reveals several unresolved issues, including open building code violations from both permit-related and complaint-driven inspections in early 2024, as well as a permit-related inspection violation from April 2026. Over the past seven years, there has been a total of 19 service requests made through the city's 311 system, with a noticeable cluster of winter-related complaints in early 2026, including snow removal and uncleared sidewalk issues. Other recent service requests include graffiti removal (February 2026), a sewer cleaning inspection request (June 2026), and a building permit violation complaint (January 2026). The building has experienced three building code violations and two building permits issued in the past seven years, indicating ongoing regulatory scrutiny of the property's maintenance and compliance status. While some issues have been resolved, as evidenced by the closed status of many service requests, the presence of multiple open violations and service requests points to continuing concerns regarding the building's upkeep and regulatory compliance.

Risk rating

How 1046 N Wood St 2'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.
