Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1303 W Huron Street in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, constructed in 1883 and currently owned by Alicia Zermeño, presents a concerning record of unresolved building code violations. Most notably, on August 1, 2019, four complaint-driven inspections resulted in violations that remain open and unresolved as of the latest available data. While the building has generated some 311 service requests over the past seven years, including nine in total, these have primarily related to external city services rather than building-specific issues. The service requests included a closed pothole complaint in January 2026, a closed dead animal pick-up request in December 2025, and several closed graffiti removal requests (three in July 2024 and one in June 2024). A tree planting request from August 2024 has also been marked as closed. While the graffiti and street maintenance issues have been addressed through city services, the primary concern for current and prospective residents remains the four open building code violations from 2019, which have now persisted for over four years without resolution.

Risk rating

How 1303 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.
