Initial analysis

The 68-unit residential building at 1951 W Lake in Chicago's United Center neighborhood, owned by WHP IIC LLC, has experienced several concerning issues in recent months. Most notably, there are currently two open building code violations from December 2019 related to complaint-driven inspections that remain unresolved. More recently, in June 2026, there have been multiple rodent-related complaints filed with 311 City Services that are still listed as open. The building's recent service request history also indicates other notable incidents in May 2026, including a vacant/abandoned building complaint, a vicious animal complaint, and a building violation report, all of which have been closed. While the building had relatively few documented issues over its first 15 years (2016-2021) with only two building violations and 50 service requests during that period, the recent surge in complaints and violations in 2026 suggests a troubling deterioration of building conditions. The property has been owned through two separate parcels, which is reflected in the total violation and service request counts for the owner, with five total violations and 57 service requests recorded over the past seven years.

Risk rating

How 1951 W Lake 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
2ndpercentile
