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 residential building at 1911 W Ohio St in Chicago's West Town neighborhood is a historic structure dating back to 1879, currently owned by Mark Purtell. The property's recent service request history, spanning the last seven years, has been relatively quiet with only two recorded incidents in the most recent three-year period: a rodent baiting/rat complaint in August 2025 and a sewer cave-in inspection request in November 2024; both of these issues were subsequently closed. Looking at the broader picture, the owner has total claims recorded through the 311 system totaling 12 requests over the past seven years across two parcels, though the specific nature and resolution status of these earlier requests is not detailed in the available data. While the building's age and limited recent complaint history suggest general stability, the recent pest control and sewer-related issues indicate some attention to infrastructure and sanitation matters, though it's noteworthy that there have been no reported service requests for the current year (as of October 2023).

Risk rating

How 1911 W Ohio 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
37thpercentile

Out of 2271 buildings in this neighborhood, 1431 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
