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 property at 1606 W Grand Ave in Chicago's West Town neighborhood is a two-unit residential building constructed in 1916, currently owned by CTLTC 008002360343. The building's recent history shows a concerning trend of unauthorized waste disposal and property maintenance issues, with a notable spike in incidents in 2024-2025. Most prominently, there were three fly dumping complaints in June 2025 alone, following a pattern of environmental concerns with two additional fly dumping complaints recorded shortly before. The property has also required multiple graffiti removal interventions, with three separate requests between November 2024 and May 2025, indicating an ongoing challenge with vandalism or property maintenance. The building's overall service request history shows relatively high activity for a two-unit property, with a total of 41 documented 311 service requests over the past seven years, though it's worth noting that most of these recent incidents have been appropriately addressed and marked as closed.

Risk rating

How 1606 W Grand 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

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.
