West Town, Chicago IL 60622 17072140140000 6 units · 1891

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 six-unit building at 1727 W Erie Street in Chicago's West Town neighborhood is a 132-year-old structure currently owned by Wicker Park Invest 172. The property's documented history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only seven 311 service requests recorded during this period, all of which have been closed. The most recent requests include a variety of non-urgent matters such as information calls (May 2026), reports of injured animals (April 2026), and complaints about e-scooter (October 2025) and Divvy bike (November 2024) parking, all of which are external to the building itself. There was also a yard waste pick-up request (October 2024) and a porch inspection request (October 2024), though the nature and outcome of these inspections are not specified in the records. Looking further back in history, the only significant incident on record was an illegal dumping complaint from 1995, which was addressed through a work order. The building's recent service request pattern suggests primarily routine municipal service interactions rather than significant building-specific issues or safety concerns, though the limited nature of the records should be noted.

Risk rating

How 1727 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
47thpercentile

Out of 2271 buildings in this neighborhood, 1204 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
