AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 1801 W Erie Street in West Town, owned by the Leslie G Steiner Trust, has been in existence since 1891 and has experienced a total of 17 service requests over the past seven years. Most recently, between October 2025 and May 2026, there have been multiple infrastructure-related complaints including two street pothole reports, a street light outage, and a yard waste pickup request, all of which have been resolved. Notably, there was also a rodent baiting complaint addressed in January 2026, which may warrant attention to building maintenance conditions. The property has recorded one violation related to house-share prohibition in the past seven years, though this appears to be an isolated incident in the context of the overall property management record. The concentration of service requests primarily pertains to external infrastructure issues rather than internal building concerns, with the most recent complaints focusing on street maintenance and public space concerns.

Risk rating

How 1801 W Erie 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

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.
