Initial analysis

The 20-unit residential building at 814 N Wolcott in Chicago's East Village neighborhood, owned by Mid American Elevator, has experienced several notable issues over the past seven years since its construction in 1942. The most significant concern is an unresolved building code violation from December 2021 related to a periodic routine inspection, which suggests potential ongoing compliance issues. The building has generated multiple 311 service requests during this period, with four specifically related to building violations between 2025 and 2026, indicating recurring problems that required city intervention. Additionally, there was a plumbing violation in October 2025 that has since been resolved. Other service requests were for non-building related issues, including a pothole complaint in February 2025 and a tree trimming request in December 2024, both of which have been resolved.

Risk rating

How 814 N Wolcott Chicago'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.
