Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1407 W Ohio Street in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, owned by Natalie Joy, has been in existence since 1878. The property's documented history over the past seven years shows relatively minimal activity, with a total of five service requests recorded through the city's 311 system and three building permits issued. The most significant cluster of recent activity involves four waste management-related requests, specifically for yard waste pick-up services, occurring between July and September 2025. In addition, there was one reported incident of fly dumping in July 2024, though this complaint was subsequently resolved. The building's permit history over the past seven years shows three separate permits, though specific details of these permits were not included in the provided data. While the property has maintained regular waste management services, the relatively low number of service requests and permits could indicate stable property maintenance, but does not provide comprehensive insight into overall building conditions or management practices.

Risk rating

How 1407 W Ohio 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.
