Unlock complete reportThe 13-unit residential building at 1444 W Erie in Chicago's West Town neighborhood is a three-story structure constructed in 1891, currently owned by C3 1444 W Erie ST LLC. The building has experienced some concerning patterns over the past seven years, particularly in 2019-2020 when multiple building code violations were documented, including three complaint-driven inspections on February 15, 2020, though these were ultimately resolved. More troubling are the three open violations from a July 8, 2019 periodic routine inspection, which remain unresolved in the records. The property has generated a total of 25 service requests through the city's 311 system during this period, with the most recent being tree emergency calls from June 2026, and these represent some of the more pressing maintenance issues. Other significant 311 reports include rodent baiting complaints, a sanitation code violation, and a dead animal pick-up request between 2024-2025, all of which have been resolved. The building's permit history shows three permits issued over the past seven years, though the specific nature and timing of these permits are not detailed in the records.

How 1444 W Erie 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
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.
Out of 2255 buildings in this neighborhood, 2232 are predicted to be safer.
