156 N Leavitt Chicago

United Center, Chicago IL 60612 17073210390000 8 units · 2002

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 eight-unit residential building at 156 N Leavitt in the United Center neighborhood was constructed in 2002 and is currently owned by West Maypole LP. The property's documented history over the past two decades shows relatively few documented incidents, with a total of 139 service requests logged through 311, most of which remain unclassified in the available data. In recent months of 2025, there have been three notable incidents involving graffiti removal requests, with the most recent occurring in October 2025, suggesting a recurring issue with property vandalism that requires attention. Earlier in the same year, there was a plumbing violation recorded in January, though this has since been closed. Looking back further, the building's historical records show a singular environmental complaint related to air pollution dating back to March 2003, which appears to be an isolated incident. While the total of 16 building violations recorded over the past seven years could raise concerns, it's important to note that not all violations are necessarily indicative of ongoing problems, as many may have been promptly addressed and resolved.

Risk rating

How 156 N Leavitt 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

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
23rdpercentile

Out of 300 buildings in this neighborhood, 231 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
