Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1451 W Huron St is a 133-year-old structure located in Chicago's West Town neighborhood. Currently owned by R R SHE S CHEN, this 1890 property has maintained a relatively unremarkable service record over the past seven years, with only one documented 311 service request during this period. Most notably, on April 23, 2026, a water lead test kit request was submitted and subsequently closed, marking the only recorded service interaction in the 311 system for both the property and its current ownership. Given the age of the building and the nature of the water quality testing request, it is worth noting that this single service request represents 100% of the building's documented service history over the past seven years, though no specific indication of lead contamination or recurring issues is evident from this limited dataset.

Risk rating

How 1451 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.
