AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 514 N Claremont Ave in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, owned by 514 N CLAREMONT LLC, was constructed in 2008 and has maintained a relatively low number of service requests over the past seven years, totaling seven documented cases. The most recent service request, filed in June 2026, concerned a potential leak, while earlier that year there were two requests related to waste management: one for blue recycling cart services and another for garbage cart maintenance. The building experienced a rodent issue in July 2025, for which a baiting service was required, along with two separate complaints regarding abandoned vehicles in the vicinity during the same month. An environmental noise complaint was filed against the property in June 2004, though this predates the current structure's construction by four years. While the number of service requests is relatively low for a multiple-unit building, it's worth noting that half of the recent complaints (three out of six in the past three years) are related to waste management and cart maintenance issues.

Risk rating

How 514 N Claremont 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.
