Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1526 W Huron St in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, owned by Edward J Bradley III, has been in operation since 1913 and carries a relatively low service request history over the past seven years, with only ten documented incidents. The most recent cluster of issues occurred between February and May 2026, with three separate rodent-related complaints and two pothole-related complaints (one in the alley and one in the street), indicating a period of environmental maintenance challenges in the immediate vicinity. Notably, the building experienced a tree debris cleanup request in May 2026, which was the most recent and, while requiring municipal intervention, was not directly related to the building's internal conditions. The property's service request history over the past several years appears sporadic rather than systematic, with no documented health or safety violations, and only one notable cluster of issues occurring in early 2026.

Risk rating

How 1526 W Huron 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
