Initial analysis

The 62-unit McCrory Senior Apartments building at 1659 W Washington in Chicago's United Center neighborhood, constructed in 2019, has experienced several maintenance and inspection-related issues since its opening. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of unresolved building code violations, with multiple open violations stemming from both periodic routine inspections and complaint-driven inspections in 2021, as well as a recent periodic inspection violation from December 2025. The property has also faced multiple water-related issues, with four leak checks requested between May and June 2026, including one complaint that remains unresolved as of June 2026. Additionally, the building has documented six tree maintenance requests between January and March 2026, all of which have been successfully closed, though some were submitted under categories that are no longer being accepted. The building's records show a total of 14 building violations and 19 service requests over the past seven years, with only one building permit filed during this period, suggesting limited recent construction or major repairs.

Risk rating

How 1659 W Washington 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.
