Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 844 N Wood St in Chicago's East Village neighborhood, owned by Jeremiah Kennelly, was constructed in 1996 and has a mixed record of service requests and compliance issues over its history. Most notably, in April 1994, the property experienced a series of significant municipal violations resulting in five separate $2,600 fines, all processed through the historic ticket - municipal prosecution system, though it's important to note that these violations occurred before the current building structure was established. The building has had recent service requests in 2026 regarding tree removal inspections (both requests remain open) and one closed rodent baiting complaint from August 2025. The property has a total of 12 service requests recorded over the past seven years, one building permit, and one building violation during this period. Environmental enforcement records indicate seven enforcement actions and three complaints, though the specific nature and resolution of these are not detailed in the summary. While the building appears to have maintained relative stability since its construction, the clustering of historical violations from 1994 requires context as these predate the current structure, which was built in 1996.

Risk rating

How 844 N Wood St'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.
