Unlock complete reportThe 8-unit residential building at 1628 W Ohio Street in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, owned by Mark Hildebrand, has a documented history dating back to its 1878 construction. The property has experienced several significant issues in recent years, particularly in 2025-2026, with multiple animal-related complaints and ongoing infrastructure concerns. Notable recent incidents include three animal complaints in June 2026 (vicious and nuisance animals), an open tree emergency, a street light outage, and a rodent infestation complaint in late 2025. The building has also been linked to two open environmental concerns as of late 2025, specifically a water lead testing request and a tree emergency since June 2026. The property's historical violation record shows 8 building violations and 3 house share violations over the past seven years, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the records. The building's service request history with the city includes 90 owner-initiated requests, suggesting regular interaction with municipal services, though the total number of building permits pulled in this period is relatively low at 3. A historical noise complaint from May 2011 adds to the property's documented issues, though this is now over a decade old.
How 1628 W Ohio 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
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.
Out of 2255 buildings in this neighborhood, 1691 are predicted to be safer.
