Initial analysis

The 1481 W Huron St 4 property, located in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, is a two-unit building constructed in 1890, currently owned by 1481 HURON INC. The property's service request history over the past seven years shows a total of 10 requests, with the most recent being an open pothole complaint from June 2026. The majority of recorded service requests in 2025 were related to street and public space maintenance, including two abandoned vehicle complaints (one in October and another in November, both closed), a street cleaning request, and two pothole complaints, though the April pothole issue was resolved. Additionally, there was one service request related to garbage cart maintenance in September 2025, which has since been closed. While the volume of service requests is relatively low for a multi-unit building in an urban area, it's worth noting that all complaints filed in 2025 have been resolved, except for the most recent pothole complaint from 2026. It's important to recognize that many of these issues pertain to street and public area maintenance rather than building-specific concerns, and their resolution indicates responsive municipal services in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 1481 W Huron St 4'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.
