Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The four-unit, 1913 East Village building at 1934 W Chicago Ave, currently owned by 1934 Chicago LLC, has experienced some notable issues in recent years, warranting attention to resident comfort and safety. Most prominently, there has been a recent cluster of sanitation code violations in early 2026, with two documented cases in February of that year, suggesting possible ongoing maintenance or cleanliness challenges. This period has also seen multiple instances of graffiti on or near the property, with three recorded removal requests in April 2026 alone, and one additional request in July 2025. While the building's 311 service request record shows a total of 14 calls in the past seven years, these recent issues appear to be the most significant in terms of resident impact, with the sanitation violations representing potential health and safety concerns. The building's permit history shows 5 permits issued in the same timeframe, though specific details about these permits are not provided in the available data. It's worth noting that the only other recorded environmental complaint on file dates back to October 2010, concerning a noise issue, suggesting that while recent problems have emerged, there were relatively few documented issues prior to 2025.

Risk rating

How 1934 W Chicago 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.
