Initial analysis

The three-unit Victorian-era building at 710 N Elizabeth St in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, owned by Chirag Mehta, has experienced a series of concerning issues over recent years. Most notably, there are two unresolved complaint-driven building code violations from December 2019 and June 2024 that warrant attention, alongside two previously resolved violations from November 2019. The property has seen an alarming spike in service requests during 2025, totaling six incidents within a single year, including three plumbing-related issues (one specifically for a violation), low water pressure complaints, a rodent problem, and an ice/snow removal request, all of which were ultimately closed. The building's permit history shows only one permit issued in the past seven years, which may indicate limited recent improvements or modifications to the property. While the building does have some resolved violations and service requests on record, the concentration of plumbing issues and other maintenance concerns in 2025 suggests ongoing technical challenges within the property.

Risk rating

How 710 N Elizabeth 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
